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 7.45  103 m. At t = 0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is P0 = 7.45  103ĵ m. At t = 30.0 s the position vector leading from you to the airplane is  P30 =(9.38  103î + 7.45  103ĵ) m as suggested in the figure below. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplane's position vector at t = 75.0 s

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 7.45  103 m. At t = 0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is P0 = 7.45  103ĵ m. At t = 30.0 s the position vector leading from you to the airplane is 

P30 =(9.38  103î + 7.45  103ĵ) m as suggested in the figure below. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplane's position vector at t = 75.0 s.
