Problem

A fielder is positioned to catch a ball at a height of

2\,\text{m}

above the ground. The ball is thrown from ground level (

y=0

) with

u = 25\,\text{m/s}

53^{\circ}

. If the fielder starts from a distance

d

and runs at

5\,\text{m/s}

towards the launch point to catch the ball at its descending stage at

h = 2\,\text{m}

, find the initial distance

d

. (Take

g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2}

)
