Question: An unsuspecting bird is coasting along in an easterly direction at 2.00 mph when a strong wind from the south imparts a constant acceleration

An unsuspecting bird is coasting along in an easterly direction at 2.00

An unsuspecting bird is coasting along in an easterly direction at 2.00 mph when a strong wind from the south imparts a constant acceleration of 0.200 m/s. If the wind's acceleration lasts for 3.00 s, find the magnitude r and direction 0(measured counterclockwise from the easterly direction) of the bird's displacement over this time interval. Assume that the bird is originally traveling in the +x direction and that there are 1609 m in 1 mi. r= m 01 = Now, assume the same bird is moving along again at 2.00 mph in an easterly direction, but this time, the acceleration given by the wind is at a = 44.0 angle to the original direction of motion, measured counterclockwise from the easterly direction. If the magnitude of the acceleration is 0.500 m/s, find the displacement vector 7 and the angle of the displacement 0. Enter the displacement components r, and ry and the angle 0. Assume the time interval is still 3.00 s. 0= m Ty = m
