Question

A plane takes off from elevation of 0m and reaches a final elevation of 3000m. it takes the plane 100km to reach its final altitude. what is the gradient of the planes flight

Answer 1

Gradient of the plane flight = 30 m/km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Final vertical elevation = 3,000 m

Horizontal distance = 100 km

Find:

Gradient of the plane flight

Computation:

Gradient of flight = Vertical elevation / Horizontal distance

Gradient of the plane flight = 3,000 / 100

Gradient of the plane flight = 30 m/km
