An object is released from rest at a height of 125 m above horizontal ground and falls freely under gravity, hitting a moving target \(P\). The target \(P\) is moving on the ground in a straight line, with constant acceleration \(0.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\). At the instant the object is released \(P\) passes through a point \(O\) with speed \(5 \, \text{m/s}\). Find the distance from \(O\) to the point where \(P\) is hit by the object.
