Ex. 2. A car driver in northern Ontario makes the following displacements: Ad₁= 15.0 km [W 30.0°N] Ad2 = 10.0 km [W 75.0°N] Ad3= 10.0 km [E 70.0° N] The trip takes 0.50 h. Calculate the average velocity of the car and driver in km/h.
A bird flies 3.50 km [East] and then immediately turns around and flies 7.50 km [West]. The bird's average speed for the entire motion is 11.0 km/h. What is the bird's average velocity. Give your answer in km/h to 2 decimal places. A velocity that is west should be treated as negative and a negative sign should be included in your answer. A velocity that is east should be treated as positive but no sign should be included in the answer. Do not include units in your answer.
