Question

An airplane travelling 250 mph is descending at an angle of depression of 5 degrees. How many miles will the plane descend in 3 min?

Topic:Angle of Elevation and Angle of Depression

Answer 1

Simply resolve the velocity into horizontal and vertical components.

The vertical velocity x 3mins will give the descent

Answer 2

@MrNood pls teach me how

Answer 3

@hartnn pls help

Answer 4

waaaaahahahah

Answer 5

kupal, alam mo ba sagot dyan?

Answer 6

Are you familiar with the concept of resolving a velocity?



The horizontal velocity you can see is a little less than 250, and the vertical velocity is quite small.

Once you have the vertical velocity it is easy to work out how far it will travel in a vertical direction in 3 mins (remember to convert mph to miles per minute)
