You drive due east at \(40 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) for \(2.0 \mathrm{~h}\) and then stop.

(a) What is your speed during the trip?

(b) Is speed a scalar or a vector?

(c) How far have you gone? Is distance a scalar or a vector?

(d) Write a vector expression for your position after you stop (in the form " \(N\) units of distance in the \(Q\) direction").

(e) Write a vector expression for your velocity during the trip, assuming east is the \(+x\) direction.
