Question

A tracking station observe that an aeroplane at two successive time to be (-500,0,1000) relative to axes X in an easterly direction Y in a northerly direction and Z vertically upwards with distance in metres .

(1) Find the equation of the path of the aeroplane,control advice the aeroplane to change course from it present position to the level flight at the current height and turn easerly through an angle of 90°?

(2) What is the equation of the new path?

Answer 1

1: The Equation will be x²+(1000)²

2: Equation of new path will be (-500)²= y² -z²
