Rohit starts from the origin of an open field. He walks 200 m200\,\text{m} due north, then 150 m150\,\text{m} due east, and finally 100 m100\,\text{m} due south. The entire journey takes 10 min10\,\text{min}. Answer the following questions. (a) Calculate the total distance covered by Rohit. (b) Determine the magnitude of Rohit’s resultant displacement from the origin. (c) Find Rohit’s average speed for the whole trip. (d) Find the magnitude of his average velocity and state its direction with respect to the east–west line.
