An aeroplane is flying vertically upward...

An aeroplane is flying vertically upwards. When it is at a height of `1000 m` above the ground and moving at a speed of `367 m//s`., a shot is fired at it with a speed of 567 `ms^(-1)` from a point directly below it. What should be the acceleration of aeroplane so that it may escape from being hit?

A

`gt5ms^(-2)`

B

`gt10 ms^(-2)`

C

`lt10 ms^(-2)`

D

Not possible

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

b. `0 = (200)^2 - 2(a_(rel))(1000)`
or `a_(rel) = 20ms^(-2)`
So to avoit the hit,
`a_(rel) gt 20ms^(-2)`
or `a_(p) gt 10ms^(-2)`.
