Answer:
The aircraft is gaining altitude at 
Explanation:
Draw a vector diagram. (Right angle triangle speed as the hypotenuse)
Let
x -----> horizontal component of the speed
y ----> vertical component of the speed
s ----> speed in miles per hour
we know that


we have



substitute




therefore
The aircraft is gaining altitude at 
NOTE: Check your formula sheet if you have one these are often there.
Ac =

= rω^2
We know r = 4.00m
but what is ω?
ω =

= 2π*f
f is our frequency. we want it in seconds so we can divide by 60.
300/60 = 5rev/s
Ac = rω^2 = (4)(5)^2 = 100m/s
(b) Linear speed or v is equal to v = ω = (5)(4) = 20m/s
340 / 20 = 17
The speed of sound is 17 times faster.
NOTE: finished physics so i might be rusty and use an equation wrong. Tell me if something doesnt make sense. Im still new to this myself.
A is correct...
hope helps
