Answer:

the resultant velocity is Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

by the rule of adding and subtracting factors, we know that; when the force acting on an object is from east & north we add and with forces acting from South & west we minus.

Therefore:

1) List the forces down:

the 100m/s acting west is (-) while

the other 100m/s is acting in easterly direction

so it is (+)

2) Add the forces:

-100+100=0

therefore the answer is 0m/s for the the resultant velocity

hope I'm right
