At an instant 0.6 s after projection, the angle of elevation of \(P\) from \(O\) is \(45 ^ { \circ }\) (see diagram).
  1. Show that the speed of projection of \(P\) is \(8.20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. Calculate the time after projection when the direction of motion of \(P\) is \(45 ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal.
