Homework Statement
In a total time of 2.0 min, a duck on a pond paddles 22m [36deg N of E] and then paddles another 65 m [E 25deg S].
Determine the duck's
i) total distance...I answered this.
ii) average speed...I answered this.
iii) total displacement...This is my dilema.
iv) average velocity...I can aswer this one once I know the displacement.
Homework Equations
I'm really not sure how to go about finding the displacement when angles are involved. Do I use trig or one of the formula's?
The Attempt at a Solution
Using trig on the vector diagram I came up with a displacement of 34m [E 25deg S].
