The airplane shown is flying at a constant speed of v = 50 m/s in a circular path of radius P = 2000 m and is being tracked by a radar station positioned a distance h = 500 m below the bottom of the plane path (point A). The airplane is at point A at t = 0, and the angle α as a function of time is given (in radians) by a = v/p t. Write a MATLAB program that calculates θ and r as functions of time. The program should first determine the time at which a = 90°. Then construct a vector t having 15 elements over the interval 0
