Math Question: A plane is at {0,0} travelling North. It receives a directive to reach a coordinate, North-East at {X,Y}. The plane has a huge turning radius R, which is to say it can't turn "on a dime" some degrees clock-wise. It will therefore stay on a circle trajectory for some time & distance. Then it will be able to go fly straight towards its coordinate and reach it. a. How many degrees will it stay on its circle trajectory? b. With arc length = 2(pi)(R)(ang/360), how much distance is that? c. After that distance on the circle, where is it in Cartesian space? d. With Pythagorean distance = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2), how much distance is left?
