Question
A GPS tracking device is placed in a police dog to monitor its whereabouts relative to the police station. At time t1 = 23 min, the dog's displacement from the station is 1.2 km, 33° north of east. At time t2 = 57 min, the dog's displacement from the station is 2.0 km, 75° north of east. Find the magnitude and direction of the dog's average velocity between these two times
