Answer: The correct answer is 1,100 km/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement of the plane = 4,400 km

Time taken by the plane = 4.0 hour


Velocity=(Displacement)/(time)=(4,400 km)/(4.0 hour)=1,100 km/hour

Since, Velocity is a vector quantity which means it has direction with magnitude. So, the velocity of the plane is 1,100 km /hour west.

Hence, the correct answer is 1,100 km/hour.
