For a particle in uniform circular motion, the acceleration $\overrightarrow{ a }$ at any point $P ( R , \theta)$ on the circular path of radius $R$ is (when $\theta$ is measured from the positive $x\,-$axis and $v$ is uniform speed)

  • A

    $-\frac{v^{2}}{R} \sin \theta \hat{i}+\frac{v^{2}}{R} \cos \theta \hat{j}$

  • B

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 $ ?
