An airplane in a holding pattern flies at constant altitude along a circular path of radius 3.50 km. If the airplane rounds half the circle in 1.50 3 102 s, determine the magnitude of its (a) displacement and (b) average velocity during that time. (c) What is the airplane's average speed during the same time interval?

Lauryn Steele · Answer 1

A.

Displacement, S; Θ = S/r

= 180/360 * 2π * 3500

= 10995.6 m

Θ = 10995.6/3500

= 3.142

B.

Angular speed, w = Θ/t

= 3.142/1.503102

= 2.09 rad/s

Velocity = w * r

= 2.09 * 3500

= 7315 m/s.

C.

The same as B.
