Answer:

B)The motion of water in an ocean current

Explanation:

With respect to measurements, a vector has both a magnitude and a direction. The first three examples (maximum height of a hill, air temperature, and rain accumulation) are magnitudes only. The fourth example (motion of water in an ocean current) is a vector, because it has a magnitude (speed) and a direction (with the current).

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Please check the attached file for the diagram

Explanation:

The velocity of the of the rowboat V_{tot}  through the river is the resultant velocity. It is obtained taking a vector sum of the velocity in still water and the velocity of the river.

There are several ways to take this vector sum, but the question makes it simple for us to use Pythagoras's theorem because the East and North directions are perpendicular to each other.

Hence;

V_{tot}^2=V_{still}^2+V_{w}^2\\V_{tot}^2=3^2+4^2

V_{tot}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\ V_{tot}=\sqrt{25}=5m/s
