Question

1.The angle of elevation of a jet plane from a point R on the ground is 60°. After a flight of

Answer 1

Answer:

Diagram is not so perfect

OR = distance travelled by the jet plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let point J be the jet plane and OJ be the constant height at jet plane is flying and OR be the distance jet plane is travelling.

h =

$1700 \sqrt{3}$

Now,

From the figure i drew (1st)

taking 60 as reference angle,

tan60° = p/b

or,

$tan60 = 1700 \sqrt{3} \div b$

$b \: = 1700 \sqrt{3} \div tan60$

so, b = 1700m

inital distance = 1.7km(OR)

now,

tan 30 = p/b

$tan30 = 1700 \sqrt{3} \div b \\ or \: b = 1700 \sqrt{3} \div tan30$

so, b = 5100 m

so, final distance = 5.1 km(OR)

Now,

distance travelled = final distance - initial distance

distance travelled = 5.1 km - 1.7km

distance travlled = 3.4 km

Now,

time = 17 seconds

= 0.00472 hour.

Now,

speed = d/t

or, speed = 3.4/0.00472

so, speed = 720.3389km/hr

so, speed = 720 km/hr approximately
