A car is moving at a velocity of 10kmh-1 , on a straight road. The driver of the car throws a parcel with a velocity of 10√2 kmh-1, whne the car is passing by a man standing on the side of the road. If the parcel is to reach the man the direction of the throw makes the angle with the man?

Dear student
 
sin theta = 10/ 10sqrt(2) = 1/ sqrt(2)
 
hence theta = 45 degree
 
hence complete angle = 90 + 45 = 135 degree

Let the parcel be thrown at angle \Theta with the direction of car’s velocity
velocity of particle wrt ground
v = 10 i + 10{\sqrt{2}}(cos\Theta i + sin\Theta j)
if  the parcel is to reach the man 
10 + 10{\sqrt{2}}cos\Theta = 0
\Theta = 135
