At one instant a bicyclist is 30.0 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 10.0 m/s. Then 30.0 s later, the cyclist is 40.0 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 10.0 m/s. For the cyclist in this 30.0 s interval, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the displacement, the ( c) magnitude and (d) direction of the average velocity, and the (e) magnitude and (f) direction of the average acceleration?

In the overhead view of Fig. 4-40, Jeeps P and B race along straight lines, across flat terrain, and past stationary border guard A. Relative to the guard, B travels at a constant speed of 25.0 m/s, at the angle theta_(2)=30.0^(@) . Relative to the guard, P has accelerated from rest at a constant rate of 0.400m//s^(2) at the angle theta_(1)=60.0^(@) . At a certain time during the acceleration, P has a speed of 40.0 m/s. At that time, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the velocity of P relative to B and the ( c) magnitude and (d) direction of the acceleration of P relative to B?
