A ball is thrown from a point with a speed `v_0` at an angle of projection `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?

A

Yes ` 60^(@)`

B

Yes `30^(@)`

C

No

D

Yes `45^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Person will catch the ball if its velocity will be equal to horizontal component of velocity of the ball
`(v_(0))/( 2) = v_(0) cos theta rArr theta = 60^(@)`
