A projectile is launched at point O in the x−y plane with the initial velocity and angle, as shown. Simultaneously, an airplane is flying in x−y plane in a straight line at an angle of 30-deg from the x-axis with a constant velocity of 480 ft/s. At the instant of 4 -seconds after the launch of the ball, calculate the following: a) The magnitude of the resultant velocity of the ball as measured by the pilot, b) The direction (measured counterclockwise from the x-axis) of the resultant velocity of the ball as measured by the pilot.

A projectile is launched at point O in the x y plane with the initial velocity and angle, as shown. Simultaneously, an airplane is flying in x y plane in a straight line at an angle of 30 -deg from the x-axis with a constant velocity of 480 f t / s . At the instant of 4 -seconds after the launch of the ball, calculate the following: a) The magnitude of the resultant velocity of the ball as measured by the pilot, b) The direction (measured counterclockwise from the x-axis) of the resultant velocity of the ball as measured by the pilot.
