There are two points $P$ and $Q$ on a projectile path with velocities $v_P$ and $v_Q$ respectively,such that $v_P$ is perpendicular to $v_Q$. If $\alpha$ is the angle that $v_P$ makes with the horizontal at point $P$,find the correct option.

  • A
    $\tan \alpha = \frac{v_Q}{v_P}$
  • B
    $\cos \alpha = \frac{v_Q}{v_P}$
  • C
    $\sec \alpha = \frac{v_Q}{v_P}$
  • D
    $\cot \alpha = \frac{v_Q}{v_P}$
