"neqo" is a bad command. $, which is parallel to the acceleration vector $ \overrightarrow{\alpha}$ at the time. Prove that $ L$ always touches to the unit circle with center the origin, then find the point of tangency $ Q$. (3) Prove that $ f(t)$ decreases in the interval $ 0\leq t \leqq \frac {\pi}{2}$.
