A player is crossing the ball forwards towards the goal. The striker in the front needs to anticpate the cross and run towards where the ball will land. The ball is propelled at a speed of $v_0 = {{params.v0}} \ \rm{m/s}$ with an angle $\theta = {{params.theta0}}^{\circ}$.

## Part 1

The striker starts accelerating from rest to anticipate the ball at the point of impact. <br>
What is the magnitude of constant acceleration needed for the player to anticipate the ball?

### Answer Section

Please enter in a numeric value in $\rm{m/s^2}$.
