A boy throws a ball with a velocity u at an angle `theta` with the horizontal. At the same instant he starts running with uniform velocity to catch the ball before it hits the ground. To achieve this he should run with a velocity of

A

`v cos theta`

B

`v sin theta`

C

`v tan theta`

D

`v//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`v=u_(x)=v cos theta`
