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 8.20 x 103 m. At t = 0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is P. = 8.20 x 10³j m. At t = 30.0 s the position vector leading from you to the airplane is P20 = (9.40 x 10°i + 8.20 x 10 j) m as suggested in the figure below. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplane's position vector at t = 65.0 s. magnitude m direction o above the horizontal P. P30
