One part of a freely swinging magnet always points to the Earth's magnetic pole in the Northern Hemisphere.
The best place to put PFDs while you are out on your boat is at the top deck of your boat. PFDs must be placed at an area where it is easily accessible, especially in times of accidents, without any unnecessary gear or objects covering the PFDs, but it is best to wear a life jacket during the whole duration of the boat trip.
The third force C is in the opposite direction of the sum of the first two forces, A+B, but the magnitude is the same as A+B
Since A & B are at right angles we can just use Pythagoras and trig:
A+B magnitude = sqrt(6^2 + 3^2) = 6.71
A+B angle = arctan(6/3) deg north of east = 63.4 deg (first quadrant)
So C magnitude = 6.71 (same as A+B)
[C angle = 63.4 deg south of west (third quadrant) = -180+63.4 deg polar = -116.6 deg
<h3>One reason we should know what the directions of the forces acting on an object is so we can know if we have to add or subtract. same = add together, opposite = subtract from each other. Also if we don't pay attention to the direction the Net force will be wont be accurate. There will be factors that will upset the calculation.So we must know the direction of the two forces because we have to know if we are adding or subtracting and if the answer is accurate. </h3>

You already told us that its speed is constant. That's one part of acceleration.
The other part of acceleration is the direction it's moving.
If it's rolling in a straight line, then there's no acceleration.
If it's curving left or right, then that's acceleration.
