An Australian emu is running due north in a straight line at a speed of 13.0 m/s and slows down to a speed of 10.1 m/s in 2.30 s. (a) What is the magnitude and direction of the bird's acceleration? (b) Assuming that the acceleration remains the same, what is the bird's velocity after an additional 2.40 s has elapsed?
