Question 25

At k k\,k a.m. plane A A\,A has position vector (2i−5j)(2\mathbf{i} - 5\mathbf{j})(2i−5j) km and moves with constant velocity (−4i+6j)(-4\mathbf{i} + 6\mathbf{j})(−4i+6j) km h−1^{-1}−1. Another plane B B\,B has position vector (−3i−9j)(-3\mathbf{i} - 9\mathbf{j})(−3i−9j) km and moves with constant velocity (i+8j)(\mathbf{i} + 8\mathbf{j})(i+8j) km h−1^{-1}−1.

a.
