One boat pulls a barge with a force of 100 newtons. Another boat pulls the barge at an angle of 45° to the first force, with a force of 200 newtons. Find the resultant force acting on the barge, to the nearest unit, and the angle between the resultant and the first boat, to the nearest tenth.

Understand the concept of acceleration: Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Recall that velocity is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction.
Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, it must also have both magnitude and direction.
A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, as opposed to a scalar, which only has magnitude.
Therefore, since acceleration has both magnitude and direction, it is classified as a vector quantity.
