Question

A plane flies 1,995 miles in a southwesterly direction from Baltimore to Phoenix in 5.00 hours . What is the velocity of the plane ?

Answer 1

displacement of the plane is given as

`d = 1995 miles`

time taken by the plane

`t = 5.00 hours`

now the velocity is given as

`v = (displacement)/(time)`

`v = (1995)/(5)`

`v = 399 mi/h`

so the velocity of airplane is 399 mi/h towards South West
