A spaceship is traveling through deep space towards a space
station and needs to make a course correction to go around a
nebula. The captain orders the ship to
travel 2.9 106 kilometers before
turning 70° and traveling 2.1 106 kilometers before
assuming the path towards the space station. If the captain had not
ordered a course correction, what would have been the magnitude (in
kilometers) and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the
+x-axis) of the path of the spaceship if it had traveled
through the nebula?
magnitude ______km.
direction _____° counterclockwise from the
+x-axis
