3. The trajectory of a space probe makes an angle of 60" with the horizontal when it is moving at 10000 mph. A course correction is to be made by thruster engines when the trajectory is at 30 to the horizontal. Assuming gravitational acceleration is constant at 30fps during this unpowered flight, what time interval should elapse before the thruster engines are ignited? What is the increase in altitude in this interval?
