Question
A tracking radar antenna is locked onan airplane flying at a constant altitudeof 5 km, and a constant speed of 540km/h. The airplane travels along apath that passes exactly above theradar station. The radar starts thetracking when the airplane is 100 kmaway.Chapter 11: Symbolic Math(a) Derive an expression for the angle e of the radar antenna as a function oftime.(b) Derive an expression for the angular velocity of the antenna, , as afunction of time.(c) Make two plots on the same page, one of e versus time and the other of versus time, where the angle is in degrees and the time is in minutesfor 0 t 20 min.
