Hello I need some help I know I messed up on the compent part of the question but not sure which it is.

A duck has a mass of 2.5 kg. As the duck paddles, a force of 0.10 N acts on it in a direction due east. In addition, the current of the water exerts a force of 0.20 N in a direction of 52 degrees south of east. When these forces begin to act, the velocity of the duck is 0.11 m/s in direction due east. Find the magnitude and direction (relative to due east) of the displacment that the duck undergoes in 3.0s while the forces are acting.

Please show me the process, Thanks

Break it into two components, x and y. Find the force in each component, and then find the acceleration in each component. Then use the kinematics equation x = x0 + v0t + 1/2at^2 to find displacement in each component. To get the angle, use tangent function. Show me your work and I can correct you.
