Question 8

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 (−4i+3j)(-4\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j})(−4i+3j) km h−1^{-1}−1. Another plane B B\,B has position vector (7i−6j)(7\mathbf{i} - 6\mathbf{j})(7i−6j) km and moves with constant velocity (−3i+4j)(-3\mathbf{i} + 4\mathbf{j})(−3i+4j) km h−1^{-1}−1.

a.
