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 v0=params.v0 m/s with an angle θ_0=params.theta0∘ above the horizental, and an angle Ï•_0=params.phi0∘.


The striker starts accelerating from rest to anticipate the ball at the point of impact.

Find the constant acceleration and direction ϕ_p the striker needs to be running at to anticipate the ball at the point of impact.

Part 1#

What is the acceleration of the striker?

Answer Section#

Please enter in a numeric value in m/s2.

Part 2#

What is the angle ϕ_p?

Answer Section#

Please enter in a numeric value in ∘.
