Trajectory of a soccer ball kicked at an angle theta.
A soccer player kicks a ball from the ground with an initial speed \(v_0\) at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal. The ball travels through the air and is caught by a goalkeeper at a horizontal distance \(L\) from the point where it was kicked.

Which of the following expressions represents the vertical height \(y\) of the ball when it reaches the goalkeeper, in terms of \(L\), \(v_0\), \(\theta\), and fundamental constants?
