A tennis player at the Australian Open wants to slam a serve at O so that the ball lands just inside the opposite corner of the court. What should the ratio $\frac{v_{0 y}}{v_{0 x}}$ be for the initial velocity $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}}_{0}$ ? The time t = 0 is the time when the ball is hit by the racket.
A)W/L
B)L/W
C) $\frac{1}{2} g t^{2} / L$
D) $\frac{1}{2} g t^{2} / W$
E) $\frac{1}{2} g t^{2} / \sqrt{L^{2}+W^{2}}$
