Question

An airplane in a holding pattern flies at constant altitude along
a circular path of radius 3.50 km. If the airplane rounds half the
circle in 1.50 x 102 s, determine the magnitude of its (a) displacement
and (b) average velocity during that time. (c) What
is the airplane’s average speed during the same time interval?
