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?
