Question

Medium

Solving time: 3 mins

A fighter jet plane flying horizontally at an altitude of $2 km$ at a speed of $200 m s^{- 1}$ passes directly above an anti-aircraft gun. What is the minimum muzzle speed and at what angle from the vertical should the gun be fired for the shell to hit the plane? $(g = 10 m s^{- 2})$

Speed of the plane

= 200 m s^{- 1}

The plane is at

2000 m

above the anti-aircraft gun at

t = 0

and let the shell hit the plane at

t

seconds. The horizontal distance covered by the plane in

t s

PQ = v \times t = 200 t
