Problem 02: (a) A predator is flying at a constant speed along with a constant height of 100 m that will take it directly over a prey at ground level. The prey, at a given instant notes that the angle between him and the predator is and is decreasing at radians per seconds. Find the speed of the predator. 20 (b) Continue as part (a), if the predator comes towards the prey at a constant angular rate of change; what is the speed of the predator when it is directly over the head of the prey. (c) Is the predator slowing down or speeding up as it approaches to the prey? Justify your conclusion.

Please give me answer correctly

Problem 02:
(a) A predator is flying at a constant speed along with a constant height of 100 m that will take it directly
over a prey at ground level. The prey, at a given instant notes that the angle between him and the
predator is " and is decreasing at radians per seconds. Find the speed of the predator.
(b) Continue as part (a), if the predator comes towards the prey at a constant angular rate of change
20'
what is the speed of the predator when it is directly over the head of the prey.
(c) Is the predator slowing down or speeding up as it approaches to the prey? Justify your conclusion.
