Your instructor purchases a drone. He gets out of the roof of a building and flies the drone 140 meters straight west in 30 seconds, and then flies it 260 meters straight south for 120 seconds. He lets it hover stationary for 20 seconds, then flies it another 70 meters straight north in a span of 15 seconds, and finally 50 meters straight west in 12 seconds. 9. Calculate the net displacement from start and report this as a single magnitude and clearly identified direction. 10. What is the magnitude of the helicopter drone's average velocity over this entire excursion?
