The question is as follows:
A rocket was launched straight up, and its altitude is given by h = 10 t2 m after t
seconds. You are on the ground 300 m from the launch site watching the rocket going
up. The line of sight from you to the rocket makes an angle θ with the horizontal. By
how many radians per second is θ changing 10 seconds after the launch?
I guess my question is whether my understanding of the problem and working is correct. I'm not 100% confident on my process and my answer and am just wondering if I have missed anything important.
