Q. An airplane is flying vertically upwards. When it is at a height of $1000\,m$ above the ground and moving at a speed of $367\,m/s$., a shot is fired at it with a speed of $567\, m/s$ from a point directly below it. What should be the acceleration of airplane so that it may escape from being hit?

Motion in a Plane

Solution:

$0=(200)^{2} -2(a_{rel})(1000)$
or $a_{rel}=20\, m/s^{2}$
