Question 28

At 10 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. The relative displacement of plane A A\,A from plane B B\,B after t t\,t hours is (5−5t)i+(4−2t)j(5 - 5t)\mathbf{i} + (4 - 2t)\mathbf{j}(5−5t)i+(4−2t)j km.

a.

Find the position vector of plane B B\,B at 10 a.m. and its constant velocity.

b.

Find the time when A A\,A is due west of BBB

[2]
c.
