An airliner flies from chicago to new york. due to the shape of the earth; the airliner must follow a curved trajectory. how does the curved trajectory of the airliner affect its final displacement for this trip?

the displacement is the same as it would be if the airliner flew in a straight line to New York

Explanation:

Displacement of any object traveling on a path is the minimum distance between the initial and final point of the entire trip.

Here, the initial point is Chicago and the final point is New York. It the path the plane would take does not affect the distance. The minimum distance between Chicago and New York would be the displacement.

The minimum distance would be if the airliner flew in a straight line to New York which is the displacement.

we need a diagram to you sorry

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
