$A$ 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?
- AYes,$60^\circ$
- BYes,$30^\circ$
- CNo
- DYes,$45^\circ$
