A stuntman tries to jump from a ledge over an 8 m gap onto a mattress that is 3 m below the current position. To do so, the stuntman runs to the edge of the ledge at a constant speed and leaps off in the horizontal direction with this speed. Describe your strategy to find the minimum speed with which the stuntman needs to run to land on the mattress
