Answer:

a) 1074.27 km

b) 64.06^{\circ}

c) 477.453 km/h

d) 638.22 km/h

Explanation:

From Pythagoras theorem

AC² = AB²+BC²

AC=\sqrt{AB^2+BC^2}\\\Rightarrow AC=\sqrt{(-470)^2+(-966)^2}\\\Rightarrow AC=1074.27\ km

Displacement = 1074.27 km

tan\theta=\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}\\\Rightarrow tan\theta=\frac{966}{470}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{-966}{-470}\\\Rightarrow \theta=64.06^{\circ}

Direction = 64.06^{\circ}

Average velocity

v_{av}=\frac{1074.27}{2.25}\\\Rightarrow v_{av}=477.453\ km/h

Average velocity = 477.453 km/h

Average speed

s_{av}=\frac{470+966}{2.25}\\\Rightarrow s_{av}=638.22\ km/h

Average speed = 638.22 km/h
