A spaceship is traveling through deep space towards a space station and needs to make a course correction to go around a nebula. The captain orders the ship to travel 1.7 x 106 kilometers, then turn 70° and travel an additional 1.3 x 106 kilometers to reach the space station. If the captain had not ordered a course correction, what would have been the magnitude and direction of the path of the spaceship if it had traveled through the nebula? magnitude direction y nebula H4 space station B spaceship X 2.713 Did you find the components of each vector and then add them? km counterclockwise from the +x axis
