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

$v = \frac{displacement}{time}$

$v = \frac{1995}{5}$

$v = 399 mi/h$

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