Question: ( 1 4 ) A small plane flies 3 0 . 0 km in a direction 4 5 north of east ( Vector A )

(14) A small plane flies 30.0 km in a direction 45 north of east (Vector A), and then flies 45.0 km in a direction 30 south of west (Vector B).
a. Create the vectors A and B, in terms of i and j, assuming East is the x direction, and N is the y direction.
b. Draw the approximate airplane path for each leg, and show a final angle relative to the eastern direction (positive x axis).
c. Find the total distance that the plane covers from the starting point at O , and the angle of the path from the East axis to the final position.
d. If the vector C=A+B, find the magnitude of C.
Distrotal km
C= km
Angle between C and x -axis
