A chauffeur heads south with a steady speed of 
v1 = 24.0 m/s
 for 
t1 = 3.00 min,
 then makes a right turn and travels at 
v2 = 25.0 m/s
 for 
t2 = 2.60 min,
 and then drives northwest at 
v3 = 30.0 m/s
 for 
t3 = 1.00 min.
 For this 6.60-min trip, calculate the following. Assume +x is in the eastward direction.
(a)
total vector displacement (Enter the magnitude in m and the direction in degrees south of west.)
magnitude mdirection ° south of west
(b)
average speed (in m/s)
 m/s
(c)
average velocity (Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees south of west.)
magnitude m/sdirection ° south of west
