The equation of the trajectory of a ball projected at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal is given as $y = x - \frac{gx^2}{2}$. The initial velocity of the ball is $[\text{Given} : \tan 45^{\circ} = 1, \cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]$

$A$ player kicks a ball at a speed of $20 \ ms^{-1}$ so that its horizontal range is maximum. Another player $24 \ m$ away in the direction of the kick,starts running in the same direction at the same instant the ball is kicked. If he has to catch the ball just before it reaches the ground,he should run with a velocity equal to: (Take $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$)
