Answer:

Intensity of the vector is v= √37 ≈ 6.08 units and make angle ∡α ≈ 9.46° with east direction

Step-by-step explanation:

Required vector is consists of the two components

vx= 2+4=6 units  and vy= 1 unit and vx ⊥ vy

We will use Pythagorian theorem to find intensity of the vector v

v∧2 = vx∧2 + vy∧2 => v = √vx∧2 + vy∧2 = √6∧2 + 1∧2 = √36+1 = √37 ≈ 6.08 units

The angle ∡α between vector and east direction we wil find with tanα

tanα = 1/6 => α = arc tanα = arc 1/6 => α ≈ 9.46°

Good luck!!!

S = D/t
120 = D / 0.5
D = 120*0.5
D = 60 km

S = D/t
70 = D / 2.5
D = 70*2.5
D = 175 miles
