Question

A refueling tanker A is traveling in level flight at constant speed of 700 km/h in a straight-line path Bringing his aircraft to the same altitude but, counter to international protocols, flies in close 50 km/h2. at an altitude of 45,000 ft. An unknown fighter B spots the tanker and alters course to intercept. proximity (4 km) to the tanker along a circular arc of radius 400 km at a velocity of 600 km/h and decelerating at 100 km/h2. At this instant, and fearing a collision, the tanker starts to accelerate at (10 pts) Determine the velocity and acceleration of fighter B from the perspective of the tanker pilots A. (15 pts) Determine the velocity and acceleration of the tanker A from the perspective of the fighter pilot B. a) b) Should this answer be the same as part (a)? Why or why not? 700 km/h 600 km/h 100 km /h2 400 km 50 km/h2
