- A plane is moving horizontally at a constant speed of 1000 kilometers/hour and at a fixed height of 450 meters. The pilot then spotted the target below, and then launch a missile to hit a target on the ground. The question is (assuming that the target is exactly 450 meters below the plane), what is the angle that is needed for the missile to hit the target and the speed of the missile when it barely touches the target?arrow_forwardAt what speed does a meteorite, whose speed is very small while it's far away from the Moon, fly to the Moon?

- You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is ina circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet’s surface, the ship’sorbital speed is 4900 m/s. By observing the planet, you determine its radiusto be 4.48 * 10^6 m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where theground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 12.6 m>s at anangle of 30.8 above the horizontal. If resistance due to the planet’s atmosphereis negligible, what is the horizontal range of the projectile?arrow_forwardOur garage mechanic is flying from St. Hubert to Québec City in a Cessna. His Cessna flies at an air-speed of 170.0 km/hr. To make it easy he decides to fly along Route 30 from St. Hubert, which is straight North out of St Hubert. (In the old days the CPR railway across Western Canada was referred to by bush-pilots as the "Iron Compass". As a non-counting trivia question, why?). However, to follow along highway 30 he finds that he must point his plane in the direction 4.5 degrees West of North. By following the highway markers he finds that he is actually travelling North at 190.0 km/hr. Being a clever person (he recently got an "A" in physics 101 but decided to go into garage mechanics instead of medicine) he quickly calculates the wind-speed to be (answer below in kilometers per hour). a) What is the wind speed he calculated? b) What is the direction of the wind?
