Question

A ball is thrown from a point with a speed $v_{0}$ at an angle of projection $θ$ . From the same point and at the same instant 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?

Options:

Answer:

A

Solution:

$v_{0} cos θ = \frac{v _{0}}{2}$ $\Rightarrow θ = 6 0^{\circ}$
