Question

A fighter plane enters inside the enemy territory, at time t equals 0 with velocity v subscript 0 end subscript equals 250 blank m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent and moves horizontally with constant acceleration a equals 20 m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent (see figure). An enemy tank at the border, spot the plane and fire shots at an angle theta equals 60 degree with the horizontal and with velocity u equals 600 blank m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent. At what altitude H of the plane it can be hit by the shot?

  1. 1500 square root of 3 m    
  2. 125 blank m    
  3. 1400 blank m    
  4. 2473 blank m    

The correct answer is: 1500 square root of 3 m


    If it is being hit then
    d equals v subscript 0 end subscript t plus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction a t to the power of 2 end exponent equals left parenthesis u cos invisible function application theta right parenthesis t
    or t equals fraction numerator u cos invisible function application theta minus v subscript 0 end subscript over denominator a divided by 2 end fraction

    therefore blank t equals fraction numerator 600 cross times fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction minus 250 over denominator 10 end fraction equals 5 blank s
    H equals open parentheses u sin invisible function application theta close parentheses t minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction cross times g t to the power of 2 end exponent
    equals 600 cross times fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 2 end fraction cross times 5 minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction cross times 10 cross times 25
    H equals 2473 blank m
