A)2.86x10^5

B)-6.74x10^-4
C)Who Cares
D)WTF?

To find the x and y components of the plane's average acceleration, we can use the equations for average acceleration:

Average acceleration in the x-direction (Ax) = (Vfx - Vix) / (tf - ti)
Average acceleration in the y-direction (Ay) = (Vfy - Viy) / (tf - ti)

where Vfx and Vfy are the final velocities, Vix and Viy are the initial velocities, and tf and ti are the final and initial times.

In this case:
Vix = 625
Viy = 415
Vfx = 838
Vfy = 365
tf = 6.52 s
ti = 3.85 s

A. The x component (Ax) of the average acceleration is calculated as follows:
Ax = (Vfx - Vix) / (tf - ti)
Ax = (838 - 625) / (6.52 - 3.85)

To convert the answer to km/h^2, we need to convert both the numerator and denominator from m/s to km/h:
Ax = [(838 - 625) / (6.52 - 3.85)] * [(3600 km/h) / (1 m/s)]

B. The y component (Ay) of the average acceleration is calculated as follows:
Ay = (Vfy - Viy) / (tf - ti)
Ay = (365 - 415) / (6.52 - 3.85)

To convert the answer to km/h^2, we need to convert both the numerator and denominator from m/s to km/h:
Ay = [(365 - 415) / (6.52 - 3.85)] * [(3600 km/h) / (1 m/s)]

C. The magnitude of the average acceleration (A) is calculated as follows:
A = √(Ax^2 + Ay^2)

D. The direction of the average acceleration can be found using the arctan function:
Angle = arctan(Ay / Ax)

Now that we know the steps to solve this problem, you can plug in the given values and calculate the answers to each part of the question.
