Question
16. An airplane taking off moves at 500 km/h
at an angle of 4° to the horizontal in the
direction W30°N for 10 min.
a) Calculate its final altitude and
horizontal displacement from the
airport.
b) After the initial climb, the plane
decreases its angle of ascent to 2°,
reduces its speed to 400 km/h and
changes course to W50°N. After
10 min on this new course, what is
the horizontal displacement of the
plane from the runway?
