You are surfing, but the waves are lame so you paddle back to shore. The waves are pushing you directly to the shore, but you are paddling at an angle, so that you get closer to where you parked your car. The waves are pushing you 10 ft/sec, and you are paddling 45◦ to the right at a speed of 5 ft/sec. (a) Draw a to scale vector diagram of this situation. Your diagram should include the vector describing the velocity from the waves, and the vector describing the velocity from your paddling. Label the scale of your drawing. (b) On your drawing above, use the two given vectors to make a scale draw- ing of their resultant vector. Then use the scale of your drawing to estimate the magnitude of the resultant. Show the calculation of using the scale.  (c)  Using the vector addition technique learned in this course, determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector exactly by resolving the original two vectors into their x and y components, and using these components to construct the resultant.
