An aircraft with a landing velocity of 79m/s is to touchdown at the start of a 2300m useable runway. If the aircraft plans to decelerate at a rate of 1.2m/s^2, is the runway enough to bring the aircraft to a full stop? If not, what does the landing aircraft need to adjust? O Yes, the runway is enough No, the runway is not enough. Increase landing velocity No, the runway is not enough. Increase the rate of deceleration. O No, the runway is not enough. Land anyway.

IT IS DESIRED TO LAUNCH A FLIGHT MISSION FOR AN AREA 8 KM WIDE AND 16 KM LONG. THE AIRPLANE HAS A SPEED OF 192 KM/H. A CAMERA WITH A FOCAL LENGTH OF 21 CM IS TO BE USED. THE APPROXIMATE SCALE IS 1: 10,000, THE AVERAGE ELEVATION OF THE GROUND IS 366 M, AND THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TO BE 23 CM X 23 CM. THE FORWARD LAP IS 60% AND THE SIDE LAP 25%. ASSUME DIRECTION OF FLIGHT IS ALONG THE LENGTH. CALCULATE: (I) ELEVATION OF FLIGHT (II) EXPOSURE INTERVAL (III) NUMBER OF PHOTOGRAPH
Three vessels P, Q and R start their voyage from a station three different directions at the same time. The speed of all the three vessels is 35 knots. Their bearings were observed to be N 60°E, S 35° E and S05° E. After two hours, the captain of vessel Q determines the bearings of P and R w.r.t. his own vessel Q. There after, he calculates the distances. What are the bearings and the distance as calculated by captain of vessel Q? Solution: 11.114
A plane leaves the airport in Hong Kong and flies 74.3 km at 57.7 degree east of north (east north means the direction is between east and north directions and the angle given is between the vector and the north direction) and then changes direction to fly 53.6 km at 16.9 degree south of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing. What is the distance in km between the emergency landing site and the airport?

Santa Claus’ sleigh starts from rest and accelerates at a = 30 + 20t , until its velocity is constant at 400m/s. It then hits an iceberg and the equation of acceleration is a = −0.003v 2until the velocity decreases to 100 m/sa.Time the sleigh reaches v=400 m/sb.Total distance Santa Claus’ travaledc.Total time of travel
A photograph is to be obtained at a scale of 1:12,500 by aerial photogrammetry. If the focal length of the camera to be used is 7.0 in., determine the height (in ft) at which the aircraft should be flown if the average elevation of the terrain is 860 ft. 7410 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error, ft Need Help? Read It
