A plane is revolving around the earth with a speed of $100\, km/hr $ at a constant height from the surface of earth. The change in the velocity as it travels half circle is.........$km/hr$
$\Delta v = 2v\sin \left( {\frac{\theta }{2}} \right) $
$= 2 \times v \times \sin 90^\circ $
$ = 2 \times 100 = 200\;km/hr$
