Heading straight in the direction of the summit of Pikes Peak, an airplane of mass 12000 kg flies over the plains of Kansas at around constant altitude 4.30 km with constant velocity 175 m/s west.
a. Determine the airplane's vector angular momentum relative to the wheat farmer on the ground directly beneath the airplane?
b. Does this value alter or change as the airplane continues its motion all along a straight line?
c. Find its angular momentum relative to the summit of the Pikes Peak?
