An aeroplane takes off from the ground at an angle of 27 degrees and its average speed in the first 10 seconds is 200 km h-1.
:
Find the distance the plane travels in 10 sec at 200km/hr, in meters
= 555.56 meters
:
What is the altitude of the plane at the end of this time?
We can use the sine of 27 degrees,
altitude (a), is the side opposite
hypotenuse = 555.56 meters
sin(27) =
a = 252.22 meters
