Question:medium

A cricketer can throw a ball with a speed of $V_0$. If he throws the ball while running with a speed $V_0$, at an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal, then the range of the ball will be maximum when $\alpha$ is

Show Hint

When a projectile is launched from a moving platform, first add the platform velocity to the projectile velocity vector. Then use \[ R=u_x\left(\frac{2u_y}{g}\right) \] and maximize the resulting expression.
