ere to search The Lost Drone. You and your team are exploring the edge of an Antarctic mountain range and you send a drone ahead to help navigate. After takeoff you lose sight of the drone and, a few seconds later, the controls malfunction and the drone stops sending visual images and navigational information except for speed and directional data. Changing speeds erratically, the drone heads west until it makes a drastic turn at the 5-minute mark to ß-35° east of south. After nearly ten minutes, the speed drops to zero and the drone stops sending data. It has crashed. Using the speed/directional data, the team draws up the graph shown below. (a) How far is the drone from you? (b) In what direction must you go to retrieve it? Express your result as a geographical direction west of south. 20 Ri Velocity v (m/s) 15 10 E 100 WEST 200 300 Bo East of South 400 500 -71 E 600 *** 34°F Clear S 6:21 1/21/
