Homework Statement
At one instant a bicyclist is 26.0 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 14.0 m/s. Then 35.0 s later, the cyclist is 26.0 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 14.0 m/s. For the cyclist in this 35.0 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? (Give all directions as positive angles relative to due east, where positive is measured going counterclockwise.)
The Attempt at a Solution
I honestly don't know where to begin. Would the magnitude =sq rt. (26^2+26^2)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
