The diagram above illustrates the trajectory of a fired missile from point P at 250 ms-1
If the missile point Q after 40 s, calculate the distance |PQ|
Attached Figure / Diagram
Verified Correct Answer: .
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
|PQ| = Range = Ux.T
= UT Cos\(\theta\)
= 250 x 40 Cos 42º
= 7431 m (7.4 km)
