A small, experimental aluminum airplane leaves its classified location on a foggy and overcast day, and flies at 198 km/h (= 55.0 m/s), at a constant height h of 500 m, toward a point directly over a victim of a bizarre, classified experiment, floating in a remote mountain lake, where a rescue capsule is to land.

(a) What should be the angle φ of the alien pilot’s line of sight to the victim when the capsule release is made?

(b) As the capsule reaches the water, what is its velocity ⃗v?
