Question

Suppose a pilot is flying a speed jet at an altitude of `30000` ft when she recognizes her jet is soon going to run out of fuel.

She requests an aerial refueling, and begins to descend at a constant rate of `100` vertical feet per minute so she can refuel at a safer altitude.

The refueling plane takes off from ground level at the same time as the speed jet begins descent, ascending at a speed of `400` vertical feet per minute.

The refueling plane begins refueling the speed jet when the two planes reach the same altitude, at which point the refueling plane will position itself below the speed jet and connect to the jet's fuel tank.

Write two equations in the form `y=mx+b` to represent the situation. Use the variables `x` and `y`.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Displacement = Average Velocity * time; I found time to be 2.22 seconds. (Displacement is the runway's length, 80 meters and the Average

Answer 2

Explanation:

Displacement = Average Velocity * time; I found time to be 2.22 seconds. (Displacement is the runway's length, 80 meters and the Average
