Answer:

Height of the fighter plane =1.5km=1500 m

Speed of the fighter plane, v=720km/h=200 m/s

Let be the angle with the vertical so that the shell hits the plane. The situation is shown in the given figure.

Muzzle velocity of the gun, u=600 m/s

Time taken by the shell to hit the plane =t

Horizontal distance travelled by the shell =u

x

t

Distance travelled by the plane =vt

The shell hits the plane. Hence, these two distances must be equal.

u

x

t=vt

u Sin θ=v

Sin θ=v/u

=200/600=1/3=0.33

θ=Sin

(0.33)=19.50

In order to avoid being hit by the shell, the pilot must fly the plane at an altitude (H) higher than the maximum height achieved by the shell for any angle of launch.

H

(90−θ)/2g=600

The figure below shows a right rectangular prism whose base is a square.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The intersection of the horizontal plane with the prism would have a square shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right rectangular prism is one in which each side makes an angle of 90^{0} with its base, which is a square. It is a three dimensional figure with six faces.

The point where the horizontal plane and the prism coincides would take the shape of the base of the prism. This is because the prism rests with its base on the horizontal plane. Thus, the shape required is in the form of a square since its base is a square. The length and width of its base are equal.
