Oasis A is 106 km due west of oasis B. A desert camel leaves A and takes 54 h to walk 77 km at 39' north of due east. Next it takes 31 h to walk 64 km due south. Then it rests for 9.0 h. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the camel's displacement relative to A at the resting point? From the time theEamel leaves A until the end of the rest period, what are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of its average velocity and (e) its average speed. The camel's last drink was at A; it must be at B no more than 138 h later for its next drink. If it is to reach B just in time, what must be the (f) magnitude and (g) direction of its average velocity after the rest period?

A particle moves along a circular path over a horizontal xy coordinate system, at constant speed. At time t1 = 3.30 s, it is at point (4.40 m, 5.90 m) with velocity (2.70 m/s)ĵ and acceleration in the positive x direction.
