"A hiker starts at point P and walks 2.0 kilometers due east and then 1.4 kilometers due north. The vectors in the diagram below

represent these two displacements.
On the diagram in your answer booklet, use a ruler to construct the vector representing the hiker’s resultant displacement."

Here, you need to use your "Protractor" as it is given in the question, but we can calculate the value with the help of our mathematical calculation too:
[ Protractor can be use only in real life, not here ]

Draw an imaginary line from initial position to final position.
Now, In that triangle, tan x = P/B
tan x = 1.4 / 2
tan x = 0.70
x = tan⁻¹ (0.70)
x = 35  [ tan 35 = 0.70 ]

In short, Your Answer would be 35 degrees

Hope this helps!

Why one part of the earth's surface is arid and dry and a nearby part is lush and wet is explained by the term?
Darina [25.2K]
The process that explains why one part of the earth's surface is arid and dry and a nearby part is lush and wet is areal differentiation. It is<span> an approach to geography that shows </span>the dependence of the distribution of physical and human phenomena and the relation  to each other from the physical location. Areal integration on the other hand is the approach that studies how places interact with each other.

A stationary boat bobs up and down with a period of 2.4 s when it encounters the waves from a moving boat.
lapo4ka [179]
It seems like the question is asking for the frequency.
Given: 
Time period (T) = 2.4 sec

Frequency (f) =? 

We know that the formula for frequency is:

Frequency (f) = 1/time period (T) 

= 1 / 2.4 s 

= 0.42 Hz. is the frequency for this problem.

How can you find the net force if two forces act in opposite directions?
Tresset [83]

Then the magnitude of the net force is the difference between the two forces,
and its direction is the same as the direction of the greater one.
