$A$ boy standing on a moving truck throws a projectile such that he is able to catch it back after the truck has moved $100 \,m$. If the truck is moving horizontally along a straight line with a constant speed $30 \,m/s$, at what speed (relative to the truck) must the projectile be thrown? (Assume $g = 10 \,m/s^2$)

  • A
    $\frac{55}{3} \,m/s$
  • B
    $\frac{43}{2} \,m/s$
  • C
    $\frac{50}{3} \,m/s$
  • D
