Answer 2

Answer:

14.48 m/s

Explanation:

According to the addition law of vectors, if there are two vectors A and B acting at an angle Ф, then the resultant is given by

$R = \sqrt{A^{2} + B^{2} + 2AB Cos\phi }$

Here the angle between Vx/y and Vy/z is 180 degree, so the resultant is given by

R = Vx/y - Vy/z

R = 17.94 - 3.46

R = 14.48 m/s
