Speed of airplane flying overhead of radar station

An airplane is flying at an altitude of 6 miles and passes directly over a radar antenna.

When the plane is 10 miles away (straight line distance from radar station s=10), the radar detects that the distance s is changing at a rate of 320 mph. What is the actual speed of the plane?

Question 16

A ship is 1200 m from shore and is using a searchlight to scan the shoreline.

The search light is being rotated at a constant angular speed of

d(th)/dt = 0.25 rad/sec.

Find the rate at which the light is moving along the shore at the time when the light is 500 m down the shore from the straight line distance to the boat.

Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height. Airplane A is flying east at 250 mph and airplane B is flying north at 400 mph. If they are both heading to the same airport, located 30 miles east of airplane A and 40 miles north of airplane B, at what rate (in mph) is the distance between the airplanes changing?

An airplane is flying with a velocity of v0 at an angle of α above the horizontal. When the plane is a distance h directly above a dog that is standing on level ground, a suitcase drops out of the luggage compartment. How far from the dog will the suitcase land? You can ignore air resistance. Take the free fall acceleration to be g.

As an airplane is taking off at an airport its position is closely monitored by radar. The following three positions are measured with their corresponding times: x1 = 264.08 m at t1 = 4.90 s, x2 = 312.33 m at t2 = 5.40 s, x3 = 364.72 m at t3 = 5.90 s. What is the acceleration of the airplane at t2 = 5.40 s? (Assume that the acceleration of the airplane is constant.) a=_______m/s^2

If you were flying a model airplane on a wire so that it traveled in a circle around you, would you hear a Doppler shift in the sound from the airplane? Explain. In Olympic sprint events, the sound of the starter gun is sent to individual speakers at each runner’s starting block rather than relying on the sound traveling through the air. Why? Does the speed of sound waves through air depend on the frequency of the sound? Justify or...
