What must Superman’s initial velocity be in order for him to catch Astute Young Physics Student just before he hits the ground?

This was the original question. Superman's final velocity is the sum of his Initial Velocity (test question) and the velocity he gains due to the acceleration of gravity. Effects of aerodynamic drag were not counted.

My biggest weakness when taking tests. I answer the question I THINK they should be asking, not the one they asked.
