Coast Guard Patrol Search Mission The pilot of a Coast Guard patrol aircraft on a search mission had just spotted a disabled fishing trawler and decided to go in for a closer look. Flying in a straight line at a constant altitude of 1000 ft and at a steady speed of 256 ft/s, the aircraft passed directly over the trawler. How fast (in ft/s) was the aircraft receding from the trawler when it was 1400 ft from the trawler? (Round your answer to one decimal places.) 1000 ft 180 × ft/s Need Help? Read It SUBMIT ANSWER
