A pilot flies horizontally at 1300 km/h, at height h = 35 m above initially level ground. However, at time t = 0, the pilot begins to fly over ground sloping upward at angle u = 4.3°. If the pilot does not change the airplane’s heading, at what time t does the plane strike the ground?
a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude 10.0 m/s, at an angle of 50.0° to the horizontal.The launch point is at the base of a ramp of horizontal length d1 6.00 m and height d2 = 3.60 m. A plateau is located at the top of the ramp. (a) Does the ball land on the ramp or the plateau? When it lands, what are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle of its displacement from the launch point?
