The figure shows the successive displacements of an aircraft flying a search pattern. The initial position of the aircraft is P and the final position is P'. What is the net displacement (magnitude and direction) between P and P'? My attempt: So, my understanding is that the net...

Well, if plane A left an hour before plane B, then the distance is no longer 1286km, (assuming that the position of plane A is 0). The two planes have to, instead, cover 566km to meet, 1286 - 720* 1 = 566km After 1 hour, or 3600s, plane A has traveled north 720,000m and plane B is beginning...

1. The distance from two airports is 1286 km by air. Plane A leaves the first airport at 10:00a heading north toward the second airport, another plane leaves from the second airport at 11:00a heading south towards the destination plane A originally departed from. Plane A travels at 720km/h, and...
