a van is traveling north at a speed of 28ms-1. after turning a corner its heading is 40 degrees east of north at 25ms-1. workout the change in velocity of the van

Welcome to PF michael,

Could you please post what you have attempted thus far.

The change in the velocity is the velocity vector that when it is added to the initial velocity one would get the final velocity. That is the initial velocity vector plus the change in the velocity vector gives one the final velocity vector.

andrevdh,

Please do not provide help to posters who do not show any prior working, it is both contrary to the forum guidelines and the ethos of the Science Education forums.
