(b) A drone, which is hovering at a height of 5 km, releases a target object which falls
under gravity. At the same time, a jet, which is at a height of 3.6 km and is 5km west
of the drone, fires a projectile at a speed of 400 m/s at an angle of θ ° to the
horizontal toward the target.

Using a point on the ground directly below the jet as the origin, the positions of the
projectile and target at time t seconds after the projectile is launched are as follows:

Projectile Drone Target

i) Calculate the size of angle θ , if the projectile is to hit the target. 3

Answer to the nearest minute.
ii) Determine how many seconds after the projectile is fired that it hits the target, 2
and the height of the target at that time.
