A dolphin swims due east for 1.90 km, then swims 7.20 km in the direction south of west. What are the magnitude and direction of the vector that will take the dolphin back to its starting point? (Enter the magnitude in km and the direction in degrees north of east.)

magnitude = 7.446 km, direction = 75.22° north of east

Explanation:

From the questions,

To get the the magnitude of the resultant vector we use Pythagoras theorem

a² = b²+c²

From the diagram,

y² = 1.9²+7.2²

y² = 55.45

y = √(55.45)

y = 7.446 km.

The direction of the dolphin is given as,

θ = tan⁻¹(7.2/1.9)

θ = tan⁻¹(3.7895)

θ = 75.22° north of east

Hence the magnitude of the resultant vector = 7.446 km, and it direction is 75.22° north of east

explanation:

because they are cartillidge

this could be newton#'s law of cooling. the cooling curve is exponential
