Messi is keeping his free-kick skills sharp this quarantine by playing football with his neighbour's monkey.
From the roof of his house, which is 7 meters above the ground, he kicks a ball horizontally towards his neighbour's
house, which is 6 meters away and also has a roof that is 7m above the ground. At the same instance, his neighbour's
pet monkey drops off the ledge of his roof to try to catch the ball. Please ignore air resistance, and take g= 9.81m/s?
Minimum velocity?
