What will be the angle of elevation of a space shuttle 2 miles away rising at a rate of 2000 feet per second in 5 minutes after its launch?

In 5 minutes time it will have travelled 2000*5*60 feet which is 600,000 feet
There are 5280 feet in a mile and so 600,000/5280 = 113.636363 miles
Angle of elevation = opposite/adjacent = 113.636363/2 = 56.818181
tan-1(56.818181) = 88.99169837 degrees
Therefore angle of elevation in 5 minutes time = 88o59'30.11'' or about 89 degrees.
With question like these a scientific calculator is recommended.

A mountain is a high natural elevation of the earth's surface that rises abruptly to a summit.
How much helium would it take to lift the space shuttle into space?
The space shuttle weighed approximately 165,000 pounds empty, and helium provides about 0.069 pounds of lift per cubic foot. To calculate the amount of helium needed, one would need to consider the weight of the shuttle, the lift provided by the helium, and the atmospheric conditions at launch.
When condensation occurs at the same elevation at which air stops rising what happens?
When condensation occurs at the same elevation where air stops rising, it indicates that the air has reached its saturation point and can no longer hold any more water vapor. This leads to the formation of clouds or precipitation, depending on the amount of moisture in the air.
