To win this set, you'll need to calculate the velocity necessary for the ball to just clear the net. Remember, velocity is a vector! (Hint: first find the time, then the initial horizontal and vertical velocity components...)

Don't let his size fool you. This kid plays a wicked game of tennis! His
dad coached him in the laws of physics so he can rapidly calculate the
proper velocity for the ball to just clear the 1.0-meter high net. At the
moment, he is 10 m from the net. When the ball reaches his racquet it is
20 cm above the ground.
