A meteor streaking through the night sky is located with radar. At point A its coordinates are (5.20km,1.20km), and 1.16s later its has moved to point B with coordinates (6.08km, 0.900km ).

a) find the x comonent of it average velocity between A and B. .759km/s
b) y= .259 km/s
c) magintude= .801

****the only problem im having trouble on is this....
Find the direction of its average velocity between these two points.
=? counterwise from axis
help me solve ^ problem plese

To find the direction of the average velocity between points A and B, we can use trigonometry.

Step 1: Calculate the change in x and y coordinates between points A and B.
Δx = (6.08 km - 5.20 km) = 0.88 km
Δy = (0.900 km - 1.20 km) = -0.3 km (negative because it moved downwards)

Step 2: Calculate the angle between the x-axis and the vector connecting points A and B.
θ = atan(Δy/Δx)
θ = atan(-0.3 km / 0.88 km)
θ ≈ -0.321 radians (in the fourth quadrant)

Step 3: Convert the angle into a counter-clockwise direction from the x-axis.
Since the angle is in the fourth quadrant, we can add 180 degrees (or π radians) to get the counter-clockwise direction.

Counter-Clockwise Direction = θ + π ≈ -0.321 radians + π ≈ 2.821 radians

Therefore, the direction of the average velocity between points A and B is approximately 2.821 radians counter-clockwise from the x-axis.
