Coordinates of the explosion in stellas reference frame

Reference no: EM13556312

Ted is sitting in his lawn chair when Stella flies directly overhead, going southeast at 114.5 m/s. Five seconds later, a firecracker explodes 190 m east of Ted. What are the coordinates of the explosion in Stella's reference frame? Let Stella be at the origin, with her x-axis pointing to the east. What are the X and Y components?
