At 10 a.m. plane A A\,A has position vector (4i−2j)(4\mathbf{i} - 2\mathbf{j})(4i−2j) km and moves with constant velocity (−5i+7j)(-5\mathbf{i} + 7\mathbf{j})(−5i+7j) km h−1^{-1}−1. Another plane B B\,B has position vector (−2i−8j)(-2\mathbf{i} - 8\mathbf{j})(−2i−8j) km and moves with constant velocity (−2i+9j)(-2\mathbf{i} + 9\mathbf{j})(−2i+9j) km h−1^{-1}−1.
