Answer

$\theta=45^{o}\quad$ ($45^{o }$ north of due east)

Work Step by Step

In part (e), we found $ \vec{a}_{avg}=(0.333m/s^{2})\hat{ i}+(0.333m/s^{2})\hat{j}$ This vector points to quadrant I. The angle is $\displaystyle \theta=\tan^{-1}\frac{a_{y}}{a_{x}}=\tan(1)=45^{o}$ $\theta=45^{o}\quad$ ($45^{o }$ north of due east)
