A cab driver 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 = 3.00 min,  and then drives northwest at  v3 = 30.0 m/s  for  t3 = 1.00 min.  For this 7.00-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_______________ m direction_______________ ° south of west   (b) average speed (in m/s)  Answer:_____________m/s   (c) average velocity (Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees south of west.) magnitude___________ m/s
