A man is standing at a radar base and observes an unidentified plane at an altitude 6000m flying towards the radar base at an an

gle of elevation 300. After exactly one minute, the radar sweep reveals that the plane is now at an angle of elevation 600 maintaining the same altitude. What is the speed in m/s of the plane?

Answer:

The speed in of the plane is 115.47 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height at which the plane is flying = 6000 m

Angle of elevation at the radar base = 30 Degrees

Angle of elevation at the radar base after one minute  = 60 Degrees

To Find:

The Speed of the plane in meter per second = ?

Solution:

Let us use the tangent of the angle to find the distance (d) to a point directly below plane:

<u>when the angle is 30 degrees</u>

tan(30) = \frac{6000}{d1}

d1   = \frac{6000}{tan(30)}

d1 = \frac{6000}{0.577}

d1 = 10392.3 meters

<u>when the angle is 60 degrees</u>

tan(60) = \frac{6000}{d2}

d2  = \frac{6000}{tan(60)}

d2  = \frac{6000}{1.732}\\

d2 = 3464.1 meters

<u>distance travelled by aircraft in 1 min is  </u>

=>d1 - d2

=>0392.3 - 3464.1

= 6928.2 m/min

<u>Now converting to m/sec</u>

=>\frac{6928.2}{60}

=>115.47 m/sec

JL is a diameter of circle k. If tangents to circle I are constructed through points L and K what relationships would exist betw
luda_lava [24]

i. Let t be the line tangent at point J. We know that a tangent line at a  point on a circle, is perpendicular to the diameter comprising that certain point. So t is perpendicular to JL
let l be the tangent line through L. Then l is perpendicular to JL ii. So t and l are 2 different lines, both perpendicular to line JL.
2 lines perpendicular to a third line, are parallel to each other, so the tangents t and l are parallel to each other.

Which of the following numbers is rational but not an integer <br> A.0<br> B.3<br> C.-9<br> D.-4.3
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Thus, every integer is a rational number. Clearly, 3/2,-5/3, etc. are rational numbers but they are not integers. Hence, every integer is a rational number but a rational number need not be an integer.

Two similar prisms have heights 4 cm and 10cm what is the ratio of their surface areas
Slav-nsk [51]
Let k be the scale factor relating two similar prisms P_{1} and P_{2}, such that for corresponding parts of prisms P_{1} and P_{2} (for heights, in particular) we have k= \frac{height\  of \ P_{1} }{height \ of\  P_{2} }. In our case k= \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}.
For surfaces area we have \frac{Surface \ area \ of \  P_{1} }{Surface \ area \ of \  P_{2}} = k^{2} =( \frac{2}{5} )^{2}= \frac{4}{25}.
So, the right answer is 4:25 (choice B)
