A ball is thrown from a point with a speed 'v^(0)' at an elevation angle of `theta` . From the same point and at the same instant , a person starts running with a constant speed `('v_(0)')/(2) ` to catch the ball . Will the person be able to catch the ball ? If yes, what should be the angle of projection `theta` ?

A

Yes, `60^(@)`

B

Yes, `30^(@)`

C

No

D

Yes, `45^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
Both horizontal direction speed is same
`v_(0) cos theta=v_(0)/2 rArr cos theta=1/2rArr theta=60^(@)`
