The motion of the ball is shown below.
Range,
R===R===45√3m Since, the IInd player is at
21sqrt3mathrm~m in the direction of kick and he is running to catch the ball, so this can be represented as shown
Let the man runs with speed
v towards point
P to catch the ball just at point
P before it touches the ground in the same time when ball reaches the point
P.
The man will travel distance
=24√3m⇒ Distance
= speed
× time
⇒2u√3=v×t......(i)
Where,
t is the time of run as well as time of flight since both the ball and IInd man start running at same time hence
t= time of flight
We know that,
Time of flight,
t== t=3 sPut
t=3 s in Eq. (i)
2u√3=v×3⇒v=8√3m∕ sOption (c) is the correct answer.
