Answer

$30$ m/s

Work Step by Step

Horizontal distance during interval $T$ is equal to ( Horizontal speed ) $\cdot$ duration of travel. Since, the horizontal speed of ball is constant$=v_0 \cos 45^\circ=\dfrac{v_0}{\sqrt 2}$ Now, $90=\dfrac{v_0}{5 \sqrt 2} \times \dfrac{v_0}{\sqrt 2}$ $90=\dfrac{v_0^2}{10}$ This implies $v_0=30$ m/s
