AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Motion In Two Dimensions

A boy throws a ball with a velocity ' \(\mathrm{V}_0\) ' at an angle ' \(\alpha\) ' to the ground. At the same time he starts running with uniform velocity to catch the ball before it hits the ground. To achieve this, he should run with a velocity of

  1. A \(V_0 \cos \alpha\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{V}_0 \sin \alpha\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{V}_0 \tan \alpha\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{V_0^2 \tan \alpha}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(V_0 \cos \alpha\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation
