In mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. but this is not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings because the speed of a wave on a massless string would be infinite.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

It should be noted that waves simply means the dynamic disturbance of a quantity.

A bird flies 3.6 km due west and then 1.8 km due north. Another bird flies 1.8 km due west and 3.6 km due north. What is the ang

Define unit vectors as follows:
$\hat{i}$ is in the eastern direction.
$\hat{j}$ is in the northern direction.

The position of the first bird is
$\vec{a} = -3.6 \, \hat{i} + 1.8 \, \hat{j}$

The position of the second bird is
$\vec{b} = - 1.8 \, \hat{i} + 3.6 \, \hat{j}$

Let θ = the angle between the net displacement vector for the two birds.
By definition,
$\vec{a} . \vec{b} = |a| |b| cos\theta \\\\ \theta = cos^{-1} ( \frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{|a||b|} )$

$\vec{a}.\vec{b} = (-3.6)(-1.8)+(3.6)(1.8) = 12.96$
$|a| = \sqrt{3.24+12.96} =4.025$
Similarly,
|b| = 4.025

Therefore
$\theta = cos^{-1} \frac{12.96}{4.025^{2}} =36.9^{o}$
