In a cricket match, a batsman hits the ball in air. A fielder, originally standing at a distance of 12 m due east of the batsman, starts running 0.6 s after the ball is hits. He runs towards north at a constant speed of 5 m//s and just manages to catch the ball 2.4 s after he starts running. Assume that the ball was hit and caught at the same height and take g = 10 m//s^(2) g = 10 m//s^(2) Find the speed at which the ball left the bat and the angle that its velocity made with the vertical.
