Speeds haven't been stated, so they can't be assumed to be constant.
Without the speeds you have no position to calc a vector... thus
constant speed must be assumed.
ISTM that speed is unknown, so no assumption can be made.
I believe Bart is having some fun! ;-)
The spanner in the works is idea that it's a round trip.
Without the speeds that determination can neither be assumed nor
denied.
I meant that the wording of the question is such that the unwary might
assume that it is a round trip - which it could be - but it might not be.
The vector can be anything, IOW, so I think he's looking for the name of the
resultant vector, and not its magnitude.
