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 $\frac{{'{v_0}'}}{2}$ to catch the ball. Will the person be able to catch the ball? If yes, what should be the angle of projection $\theta $ ?

  • A

    No

  • B

    Yes, $30^o$

  • C

    Yes, $60^o$

  • D

    Yes, $45^o$
