d. average velocity

Question 2: As an airplane descends toward an airport, it drops a vertical distance of 24

m and moves forward a horizontal distance of 320 m. What is the displacement of the
plane during this time? Show magnitude and direction.

Displacement = √(𝛥𝑥)2 + (𝛥𝑦)2 = √3202 + 242 = 320.9 m

𝛥𝑦 24
Ꝋ = tan−1 ( 𝛥𝑥 ) = tan−1 ( 320) = 4.3 °
