A helicopter is in level flight with a constant horizontal speed of 11 m>s. At t = 0 it begins to accelerate vertically at0.96 m>s2. Assuming the helicopter’s acceleration remains constant for the time interval of interest, find (a) the horizontal and vertical distances through which it moves in 5.3 s and (b) its x and y velocity components at t = 5.3 s.
