Answer:

The height of the airplane is 3312.4 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of the airplane, v = 1100 km/h = 300 m/s

It takes 26 s for the engine to hit the ground. We need to find the height of the airplane. Using second equation of motion to find it as :

Here, u = 0 and a = g

The height of the airplane is 3312.4 meters.
