A dog running in an open field has components of velocity v(x) = 2.2 m/s and v(y)= -1.3 m/s at time t1 = 11.7 seconds . For the time interval from t1 = 11.7 seconds to t2 = 24.1 seconds , the average acceleration of the dog has a magnitude 0.39 m/s^2 and direction 30.0 degrees measured from the positive x-axis toward the positive y-axis.

a)At time t2 = 24.1 seconds , what are the x- and y-components of the dog's velocity?

b)What is the magnitude of the dog's velocity?

c)What is the direction of the dog's velocity (measured from the positive x-axis toward the positive y-axis)?
