The prompt asks to identify which formula(s) are needed to solve the problem, and notes that one or several options can be selected. However, in this instance the provided answer options list is empty, while the answer field includes a single entry 'e.'.

First, I restate what is given and what needs to be determined from the visible problem:
- A child is running with a velocity of 10 i m/s along a fixed coordinate system.
- A kite is tethered by a 20 m rope and located at an angle θ = 45° at the instant shown; the rope line is maintained in tension.
- The angle θ increases at 1 degree per second (the kite is moved downward as θ increases).
- We are asked to determine two things when θ increases at 1°/s: (i) the velocity of the kite relative to the running kid, (ii) the velocity of the kite relative to the ground.

To decide which formulas are needed, one would typically identify the relevant vectors and their relationships:
- A description of the kite position in polar or rectangular coordinates using the rope length (r = 20 m) and the angle θ with respect to the running kid’s axis. This yields components of the kite’s position: x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ (depending on how the axes are defined in the diagram).
- The velocity of the kite relative to the ground generally arises from differentiating the position vector of the kite with respect to time: v_kite/ground = dr/dt in radial direction plus the angular rate θ̇ times the tangential direction, i.e., v = ṙ e_r + r θ̇ e_t. If r is constant (ṙ = 0, since the rope length is fixed), the velocity becomes v = r θ̇ e_t, in the frame attached to the ground.
- The velocity of the kite relative to the running kid would be found by subtracting the running kid’s velocity vector from the kite’s ground velocity: v_kite/kid = v_kite/ground − v_kid/ground, where v_kid/ground is the given 10 i m/s.
- Since the diagram shows θ changing with time, θ̇ is needed; given θ̇ = 1°/s, one would convert to radians per second for standard vector components: θ̇ = (π/180) rad/s.

If there were multiple-choice options, you would evaluate each candidate formula by:
- Checking if it correctly uses the fixed rope length (r = 20 m) and accounts for the constant length by setting ṙ = 0 when computing v_kite/ground.
- Ensuring the angular speed θ̇ is included and correctly applied to obtain the tangential component v_t = r θ̇, oriented perpendicular to e_r.
- Confirming that the final expressions for v_kite/kid and v_kite/ground are written in the same reference frame as the problem’s coordinate axes (i and j directions as labeled in the diagram).

Because the actual answer options are missing in this instance, I cannot assess which of them is correct or incorrect. Any evaluation would require seeing the explicit formulas presented as options (e.g., forms like v = r θ̇ e_t, v = ṙ e_r + r θ̇ e_t, or vector difference v_kite/kid = v_kite/ground − v_kid/ground, etc.).

In summary: to choose the correct formula(s), you would typically need the standard relations for circular motion with a fixed radius (ṙ = 0), the conversion θ̇ from degrees to radians, and the relative-velocity relation v_kite/kid = v_kite/ground − v_kid/ground. Since the option list is empty, there is no concrete set of formulas to evaluate here. If you can provide the actual answer options, I can walk through each one and indicate which are correct and why.
