The acceleration (a vector quantity) of gravity on a sky diver is 9.8 m/s2. If the force of the wind also causes an acceleration of 2.9 m/s2 at an angle of 13 above the horizontal, what is the resultant acceleration of the sky diver?
S represent the downward force on the sky diver due to gravity, W represent the upward force on the sky diver due to the wind, and let R represent the resultant vector.
| Vector | Magnitude | Standard-position Angle |
|---|---|---|
| S | ||
| W |
The resultant acceleration of the sky diver is ________
