    The robotic spacecraft traveled 8 km east, then 3 km south, and then 5 km west over 4 hours. Its resultant displacement from the landing site was 3 km southwest. Its average speed was 2 km/h and its average velocity was 1.5 km/h southwest. A commercial jet flying 500 km/h north encountered a 300 km/h crosswind from the west. Considering both vectors, the jet's resultant velocity was at a northeast angle and its ground-relative velocity needed to fly north was between the original and crosswind velocities.

    Higher Physics Assignment H01

    1) A small robotic spacecraft on the planet Mars leaves its landing site and travels 8 km due east followed by 3 km due south and then 5 km due west. The journey takes 4 hours. a) By drawing a scale diagram find the magnitude and direction of the resultant displacement of the spacecraft from its landing site. b) Calculate the average speed of the spacecraft. c) Calculate the average velocity of the spacecraft.

    2) A commercial jet has a velocity of 500 km h-1 due north. It encounters a crosswind of velocity 300 km h-1 from the west. a) Draw two vectors, to scale, showing the velocity of the jet and the velocity of the wind. b) By drawing a scale diagram find the resultant velocity of the jet. c) Find the velocity vector the jet would need to fly to maintain a northerly direction relative to the ground.
