A Plane Flying in a Straight Line Path
What is the final location of the plane after flying along a straight line path?
a) 90.0 km farther east and 200.0 km farther north
b) 180.0 km farther east and 400.0 km farther north
c) 270.0 km farther east and 600.0 km farther north
Answer:
a) 90.0 km farther east and 200.0 km farther north
The final location of the plane after flying along a straight line path is 90.0 km farther east and 200.0 km farther north, relative to where it started. This means that the plane's flight direction resulted in a displacement of 90.0 km to the east and 200.0 km to the north.
