Roque is flying a kite along the dolomite sand of Manila Bay. If the string is 45 meters, determine the rate at which the angle of elevation is changing if the horizontal distance from him to the point directly below the kite is 13 m. Assume that he is running at a of 1.2 m/s the kite is not swaying as it flies upward, and he started from rest when the kite is directly along his field of vision.

The pilot of an airplane carrying a package of mail to a remote outpost wishes to release the package at the right moment to hit the recovery location A. What angle θ with the horizontal should the pilot’s line of sight to the target make at the instant of release? The airplane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 113 m with a velocity of 291 km/h.
While a helicopter hovers 1000 ft above the water, its pilot spies a man in a lifeboat through an angle of depression of 28°. Along a straight line, a rescue boat can also be seen through an angle of depression of 14°. How far is the rescue boat from the lifeboat? 28
The pilot of an airplane carrying a package of mail to a remote outpost wishes to release the package at the right moment to hit the recovery location A. What angle e with the horizontal should the pilot's line of sight to the target make at the instant of release? The airplane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 167 m with a velocity of 299 km/h. 299 km/h 167 m Answer: e =
A projectile with a muzzle velocity of 400 meter per second is fired from a gun on top of a cliff 400 meters above sea level. If the projectile hits the ocean surface 40 seconds after the being fired, determine the angle of elevation of the gun.
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.395 m above his mouth. A) What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? (In degrees)
A ball projected at an angle 0, attains a maximum height HI and if the ball is projected at angle of (90- 0) and the maximum height attained by the ball is H2. find the relationship between the range of projectile and H1,H2 ?
A pirate ship is 506 m away from a fort that is being defended by artillery that is sea level. The defensive cannon is capable of firing a cannon ball at 95 m/s. At what angle(s) above horizontal can the cannon fire the cannon ball so that it will hit the pirate ship?
One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. Then while your opponent is watching that snowball, you throw a second one at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume that both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 30.0 m/s. The first is thrown at an angle of 65.0° with respect to the horizontal. (a) At what angle should the second snowball be thrown to arrive at the same point as the first? _____° (b) How many seconds later should the second snowball be thrown after the first in order for both to arrive at the same time?
Imagine you want to measure the height of an inaccessible mountain peak on an island in the South Pacific. First, you line up your boat so it is due west of the peak, and then find that the peak is an angle of 12 degrees up from the horizon. Next, you move your boat a displacement of 25km, 37 degrees south of east. How tall is the peak of the mountain?
A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train travel- ing along a straight horizontal track at a constant speed of 10.0 m/s. The student throws a ball into the air along a path that he judges to make an initial angle of 60.0° with the horizontal and to be in line with the track. The student’s professor, who is standing on the ground nearby, observes the ball to rise vertically. How high does she see the ball rise?
The pilot of an airplane carrying a relief package to a remote location wishes to release the package at the right moment to hit the recovery location A. What angle θ (degrees) with the horizontal should the pilot’s line of sight to the target make at the instant of release? The airplane is flying horizontally at an altitude of h=104m with a velocity of 217 km/h. Round off only on final answer expressed in three decimal places.
