Question

A ball is thrown from a point with a speed $v_0$ at an angle of projection $f\Delta$ 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
• B. yes, 30
• C. No
• D. yes, 45

Answer 1

The correct option is A yes, 60

Man will catch the ball if the horizontal component of velocity becomes equal to the constant speed of man $i.e.,$ $\theta ={60}^0$

Hence,

option $\left(A\right)$ is correct answer.
