  • question_answer
    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\[\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{2}\] to catch the ball. Will the person be able to catch the ball If yes, what should be the angle of projection?

    A)  Yes, \[60{}^\circ \]                                         

    B)  Yes, \[30{}^\circ \]

    C)  No                        

    D)         Yes, \[45{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Man will catch the ball if the horizontal component of velocity becomes equal to the constant speed of man\[ie\], \[{{v}_{0}}\cos \theta =\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{2}\]
