The F-35B Lightning II is a short-takeoff and vertical landing fighter jet. If it does a vertical takeoff to 20.00-m height above the ground and then follows a flight path angled at 26o with respect to the ground for 25 km, what is the final displacement in meters

Answer :

Onyebuchinnajigo

The final displacement of the F-35B Lightning fighter jet is determined as 24,991.2 m.

Displacement of the flight

The displacement of the flight is calculated from triangle method of vector addition as follows;

  • Let the vertical take off =  first length of triangle
  • Let the flight path at 26⁰ = second length of triangle
  • Let the displacement = third side of triangle

Angle between the first two sides = 90 - 26⁰  = 64⁰

r² = a² + b² - 2abcosR

r² = 20² + 25000² - (2 x 20 x 25000) x cos(64)

r² = 624,562,028.9

r = 24,991.2 m

Thus, the final displacement of the F-35B Lightning fighter jet is determined as 24,991.2 m.
