Hello!
The answer is:
The correct option is
a) [tex]Resultant=\sqrt{22^{2} +4^{2} }[/tex]
Why?
Since a right triangle is formed, we can calculate the resultant force using the Pythagorean Theorem which states that:
[tex]c=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}[/tex]
Where,
c, is the hypothenuse.
a, is one triangle leg.
b, is the other triangle leg.
So, we are given the information:
[tex]a=22mph[/tex]
[tex]b=4mph[/tex]
So, calculating the resultant force (hypothenuse), we have:
[tex]Resultant=\sqrt{22^{2} +4^{2} }[/tex]
Hence, the expression that would find the result velocity is:
a) [tex]Resultant=\sqrt{22^{2} +4^{2} }[/tex]
Have a nice day!
