Joe Wants

His Ball Back


Toby Philipp

Joe has dreams of winning the Champions


League one day, though his ball was stolen by
a mob of anti football hooligans. They throw
his ball out of a plane at 40,000 meters
altitude. A football has a terminal velocity of
88 km/h. This is his only ball, and he really
doesn't want to lose it. How far away would
he have to position himself in order to catch
the falling ball whilst running 20 km/h?
