Explanation:
<u>Net Forces and Acceleration</u>
The second Newton's Law relates the net force acting on an object of mass m with the acceleration a it gets. Both the net force and the acceleration are vector and have the same direction because they are proportional to each other.
According to the information given in the question, two forces are acting on the swimming student: One of 256 N pointing to the south and other to the west of 104 N. Since those forces are not aligned, we must add them like vectors as shown in the figure below.
The magnitude of the resulting force is computed as the hypotenuse of a right triangle
The acceleration can be obtained from the formula
Note we are using only magnitudes here
