A rescue plane flies horizontally at a constant speed searching for a disabled boat. When the plane is directly above the boat, the boat's crew blows a loud horn. By the time the plane's sound detector receives the horn's sound, the plane has traveled a distance equal to three-fourths its altitude above the ocean. Assuming it takes the sound 1.96 s to reach the plane, and taking the speed of sound to be 343 m/s, determine the following. (a) the speed of the plane 205.8 m/s (b) the altitude of the plane 494 x You know the time for the plane to fly the distance. If you know the speed of the plane from part (a) you can determine the numerical value of this distance. m
