[SOLVED] Aeroplane problem!
A pilot flies horizontally at 1350 km/h, at height h = 50 m above initially level ground. However, at time t = 0, the pilot begins to fly over ground sloping upward at angle θ = 4.3°. If the pilot does not change the airplane's heading, at what time t does the plane strike the ground?
Here is what i tired to do
I took tan4.3 = 50/x and found x =664.98 and then tried to find time(t) by using this formula
x = ((v1-v2) * t / 2 ) where v1 = initial velocity and v2 = final velocity but when i plug em up online they tell me it's wrong. Please help!
