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 (−3i+2j)(-3\mathbf{i}+2\mathbf{j})(−3i+2j) km h−1\text{h}^{-1}h−1. Another plane B B\,B has position vector (3i−8j)(3\mathbf{i}-8\mathbf{j})(3i−8j) km and moves with constant velocity (−2i+5j)(-2\mathbf{i}+5\mathbf{j})(−2i+5j) km h−1\text{h}^{-1}h−1.
