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. $V_0 \cos \alpha$
  2. $\mathrm{V}_0 \sin \alpha$
  3. $\mathrm{V}_0 \tan \alpha$
  4. $\sqrt{V_0^2 \tan \alpha}$

Solution


To cover a range $R$, the boy should run with a constant velocity of $V_0 \cos \alpha$
