You are standing on the ground at the origin of a coordinate system. An airplane flies over you with constant velocity parallel to the x axis and at a fixed height of 7.60∗10 3m. At time t=0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is P0 =7.60∗10 3j^ m. At t=30.0s, the position vector leading from you to the airplane is P30=(8.04∗10 3i^+7.60∗10 3j^ )m . Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplanes position vector at t=45.0s.

Question

You are standing on the ground at the origin of a coordinate system. An airplane flies over you with constant velocity parallel to the x axis and at a fixed height of 7.60∗10 3m. At time t=0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is
P0 =7.60∗10 3j^ m. At t=30.0s, the position vector leading from you to the airplane is P30=(8.04∗10 3i^+7.60∗10 3j^ )m . Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplanes position vector at t=45.0s.
