Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I know this has got to be the easiest problem to solve but I am not getting it. this is what I did.
It asked for how far to the north, so I assumed they were looking for a final position. I used vector components (5cos25)i + 5(sin25)j, but I don't know how to solve for the distance x. I know there's a formula v = x / t but that didnt help.
