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 constant height of 8.00 x 103 m.

At  t = 0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is 

P0 = 8.00 x 103ĵ m.
 
At t = 30.0 s the position vector leading from you to the airplane is 
 
P30 = (8.16 x 103î + 8.00 x 103ĵ) m

Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplane's position vector at t = 60.0 s.
