The equation of motion of a missile are x = 3t, y = –4t, z = t, where the time ‘t’ is given in seconds, and the distance is measured in kilometres.
Based on the above answer the following:
Question 1
What is the path of the missile?
(a) Straight line
(b) Parabola
(c) Circle
(d) Ellipse
Question 2
Which of the following points lie on the path of the missile?
(a) (6, 8, 2)
(b) (6, –8, –2)
(c) (6, –8, 2)
(d) (–6, –8, 2)
Question 3
At what distance will the rocket be from the starting point (0, 0, 0) in 5 seconds?
(a) √550 kms
(b) √650 kms
(c) √450 kms
(d) √750 kms
Question 4
If the position of rocket at a certain instant of time is (5, –8, 10), then what will be the height of the rocket from the ground? (The ground is considered as the xy – plane
(a) 12 km
(b) 11 km
(c) 20 km
(d) 10 km
Question 5
At a certain instant of time, if the missile is above the sea level, where the equation of the surface of sea is given by 2x + y + 3z = 1 and the position of the missile at that instant of time is (1, 1, 2), then the image of the position of the rocket in the sea is
(a) ((-9)/7,(-1)/7,(-10)/7)
(b) (9/7,(-1)/7,(-10)/7)
(c) ((-9)/7,1/7,(-10)/7)
(d) ((-9)/7,(-1)/7,10/7)
