5 An aeroplane is travelling along a straight line between two points, \(A\) and \(B\), which are at the same height. The air is moving due east at a speed of \(30 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Relative to the air, the aeroplane travels due north at a speed of \(100 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
