Question

A duck has a mass of 2.3 kg. As the duck paddles, a force of 0.07 N acts on it in a direction due east. In addition, the current of the water exerts a force of 0.26 N in a direction of 48° south of east. When these forces begin to act, the velocity of the duck is 0.15 m/s in a direction due east. Find the magnitude and direction (relative to due east) of the displacement that the duck undergoes in 2.2 s while the forces are acting.

Answer 1

displacement=velocity*time
= .15m/s East * 2.2seconds
= .25*2.2 m East
