To solve the problem of determining the velocity vector of a car moving at a speed of \(10 \, \text{m/s}\) in various directions, we will express the velocity vector in unit vector notation for each specified direction. The east direction is taken as the x-axis and the north direction as the y-axis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Unit Vector Notation**: - The velocity vector can be expressed in the form \( \vec{v} = v_x \hat{i} + v_y \hat{j} \), where \(v_x\) is the component in the x-direction (east) and \(v_y\) is the component in the y-direction (north). 2. **Magnitude of Velocity**: ...
