$A$ 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,$60^\circ$
  • B
    Yes,$30^\circ$
  • C
    No
  • D
    Yes,$45^\circ$
