Simulation Information

Problem Statement: An aircraft is flying at a height of 3400 m above the ground. If the angle subtended at a ground observation point by the aircraft positions 10.0 s apart is 30°, what is the speed of the aircraft?

Calculated Speed: Calculating... m/s (0 km/h)

Physics: Using trigonometry, the distance between points A and B is d = 2 × h × tan(θ/2). Speed is then v = d / Δt.

Current Positions: The simulation shows the aircraft at two positions (A and C) separated by the specified time interval, with the observer at point B on the ground.
