A batter hits a ball with a velocity of 40 m/s at an angle of 50° above the horizontal. The ball heads straight toward an outfielder, who is 135 m from the batter when the ball is hit. How fast does the outfielder have to run in order to catch the ball? (Assume the ball is caught at the same height at which it was hit.) a) 1.72 m/s b) 2.14 m/s c) 2.52 m/s d) 3.32 m/s e) 4.12 m/s
