(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
.
