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 8.95  103 m. At  t = 0,  the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is  P0 = 8.95  103ĵ m.    At  t = 30.0 s  the position vector leading from you to the airplane is  P30 = (7.22  103î + 8.95  103ĵ) m  as suggested in the figure below. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplane's position vector at  t = 60.0 s.   An illustration shows a woman standing on the ground and facing towards an airplane that is flying away from her. Vector P0 starts at the woman's head and extends vertically to end on a horizontal line that represents the height of the airplane. Vector P30 starts at the woman's head and extends at an angle up and to the right to end on the airplane.   What is magnitude ? What is  direction in degrees  above horizontal?

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 8.95  103 m. At 

t = 0,

 the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is 

P0 = 8.95  103ĵ m.
 

 At 

t = 30.0 s

 the position vector leading from you to the airplane is 

P30 = (7.22  103î + 8.95  103ĵ) m

 as suggested in the figure below. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplane's position vector at 

t = 60.0 s.
