The y coordinate of the airplane is constant and equal to 7.

60 103 m whereas the x coordinate


is given by x = vit where vi is the constant speed in the horizontal direction.
At t = 30.0 s we have x = 8.04 103, so vi = 268 m/s. The position vector as a function of time is
P = (268 m/s)t i + (7.60 103 m)j.
At t = 45.0 s, P = [1.21 104 i + 7.60 103 j] m. The magnitude is
P = (1.21 104)2 + (7.60 103)2 m = 1.43 104 m
and the direction is
= Arctan

7.60 103
1.21 104 =
32.2above the horizontal
