2-18) A plane flies for 3 h and reaches a point 600
km north and 800 km east of its starting point.
Find the direction and magnitude of its average
velocity.
2-19 A plane flies south at 500 km h¹ for 2 h and
then flies west at 500 km h west for I h. (a)
What is its average speed? (b) What are the mag-
nitude and direction of its average velocity?
