A $45$ g bug is hovering in the air. A gust of wind exerts a force role="math" localid="1648061852575" $\vec{F} = (4.0 \hat{i} - 6.0 \hat{j}) \times 10^{- 2}$ N on the bug.

a. How much work is done by the wind as the bug undergoes displacement $∆ \vec{r} = (2.0 \hat{i} - 2.0 \hat{j})$ m?

b. What is the bug’s speed at the end of this displacement? Assume that the speed is due entirely to the wind.
