    4.25

    Height of the aircraft from the ground = 3400m

    Let A and B be the positions of the aircraft, making an angle of AOB = 30 ° . The perpendicular OC and OC is the height of the aircraft. Angles AOC = angle BOC = 15 °

    In AOC, AC = OC tan
    15°
     = 3400 tan? 15° = 911.03m

    AB = AC + CB = 2AC = 1822m

    The distance of AB is covered in 10s, so the speed of the aircraft = 1822/10 m/s = 182.2 m/s

  a = v 0 2 R

after 10 kicks, v = v 0 + 1 0 v 0 1 0 0 = 1 . 1 v 0

R 1 = 1 . 2 1 R

v? = 3tî v? = 24cos 60°î + 24sin 60°? = 12î + 12√3?
v? = v? – v? = (12 – 3t)î + 12√3?
It is minimum when 12 - 3t = 0 ⇒ t = 4sec

ω = θ² + 2θ
α = (ωdω)/dθ = (θ² + 2θ) (2θ + 2)
At θ = 1rad.
ω = 3rad/s and α = 12rad/s²
a? = αR = 12 m/s² a? = ω²R = 9 m/s² A? = √ (a? ² + a? ²) = 15 m/s²

a? = v? ²/4r
a_A? = (v? ²/r²) × r = v? ²/r
a_A = 3v? ²/4r
