Question

The angle of elevation of an airplane from a point on the ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds
the angle of elevation becomes 30°. If the airplane is flying at a constant height of 3000 v3 m, find the
speed of the airplane.

Answer 1

Answer:

200m/sec. or 12km/hours

Answer 2

Answer:

${ \purple{ \tan 60° = \frac{3000 \sqrt{3} }{x} }}$

${ \purple{x= \frac{3000 \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} } = 3000m}}$

${ \purple{ \tan 30° = \frac{3000 \sqrt{3} }{ \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } } = 9000m}}$

Distance covered :

${ \purple{ 9000 - 3000 = 6000m}}$

${ \purple{speed = \frac{6000}{30} }}$

${ \huge{ \boxed{ \purple{speed = 200 m/s}}}}$
