Correct answer only ! i cannot retake at take off, a plane flies 100 km north before turning to fly 200 km east. how far is its destination from where the plane took off?

 Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

   Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

  At take off, a plane flies 100 km north before turning to fly 200 km east, which means plane first travels 100 km north and then travels 200 km east.

  100 km north, Displacement = 100 j km

  200 km east, Displacement = 200 i km

Total displacement = 100 j + 200 i = ( 200 i + 100 j ) km

 Magnitude of displacement =   ≅ 224 km

 Option C is the correct answer.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
