<u>Answer:</u>
Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.
Speed of truck = 25 m/s north = 25 j m/s
Speed of dog = 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of north = (1.75 cos 35 i + 1.75 sin 35 j)m/s
= (1.43 i + 1.00 j) m/s
Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 25 j + 1.43 i + 1.00 j = 1.43 i + 26.00 j
Magnitude of velocity = 26.04 m/s
Angle from positive horizontal axis = 86.85⁰
So Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 86.85⁰ east of north = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.
