A plane is coming into land at YVR its ground speed (horizontal speed measured relative to the ground) is 273 km/h. At the same time its vertical altitude is decreasing at 45.7km/h. 1. What is the magnitude of the plane velocity vector? 2. The direction the plane is traveling is 10 degrees south of west. Taking the y-axis as being due north and the x-axis as being due east and the z-axis straight up, what is the velocity vector of this plane in i, j, k notation?
