(a)
\Position function of a object moving downwards is .
As the object is falling down then .
where is the initial height.
is the initial velocity.
is the acceleration due to gravity.
Position Function .
.
Therefore, the position vector is .
When the object reaches the ground level then .
Therefore, at time sec, the object will reach the ground.
(b)
\Angle of elevation is .
Apply derivative with respect to .
.
Rate of change in angle of elevation at is
Rate of change in angle of elevation at is
.
Rate of change in angle of elevation at is
Rate of change in angle of elevation at is
.
(a) The position vector is .
The object will reach the ground at .
(b)
\Rate of change in angle of elevation at is
.
Rate of change in angle of elevation at is
