Wags decides to go on another adventure. He begins by traveling east for 100m. He then moves 75 m in a direction 60◦ west of south. Finally, he accelerates at a rate of 2.5 m/s2, from rest, directly north. How far is he from his starting location 10seconds after he began accelerating? - I know we have to find the displacement but then what?
