The site from which an airplane takes off is the origin. The X axis points east, the y axis points straight up. The position and velocity vectors of the plane at a later time are given by r=(1.21x103i+3.45x104;)m and v= (2 i-3.5j) m/s The magnitude, in meters, of the plane's displacement from the origin is: a. 2.50 x104
b. 1.45 x 104
c. 3.45x104
d. 2.5x103
e. none of the above

d = 3.5*10^4 m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the displacement of the airplane you need only the information about the initial position and final position of the airplane. THe initial position is at the origin (0,0,0) and the final position is given by the following vector:

The displacement of the airplane is obtained by using the general form of the Pythagoras theorem:

  (1)

where x any are the coordinates of the final position of the airplane and xo and yo the coordinates of the initial position. You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

hence, the displacement of the airplane is 3.45*10^4 m

do you have a formula possibly

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
