Question

A person swims 6.4 meters per

second north while being
pushed by a current moving
west at 2.1 meters per second.
What is the magnitude of the
swimmer's resultant vector?
Hint: Draw a vector diagram.
[?] m/s
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Explanation:

Using Pythagorean Theorem

resultant ^2 = 6.4^2 + 2.1 ^2

resultant ^2 = 45.37

resultant = 6.7 m/s magnitude
