A bug is located at the origin at t=0 with a velocity of 45 m/s at an angle of 40°
counterclockwise from the +x-axis. The bug is located at x = 120 m and y=85 m with a
velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 55° counterclockwise from the +x-axis at t = 3.5 s. Calculate
(a) the average velocity and (b) the average acceleration of the bug during this interval.
(c) Include a diagram of the situation.
