A cab driver heads south with a steady speed of v, = 22.0 m/s for t, = 3.00 min, then makes a right turn and travels at v, = 25.0 m/s for t, = 2.20 mir and then drives northwest at v, = 30.0 m/s for t, = 1.00 min. For this 6.20-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 direction 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/s direction south of west
