Question

Jojo is riding a boat to travel across a river whose current has velocity of 1.20 m/s westward. If the speed of the boat is 1.85 m/s, at what angle should the boat head so that it travels northward directly across the river? 40.4 degrees north of east 32.9 degrees west of north 40.4 degrees east of north 32.9 degrees north of west

Step 1

We have a river flowing westward with a velocity of 1.20 m/s, and a boat traveling at a speed of 1.85 m/s. We want the boat to travel directly northward across the river. Now, let's break down the velocities into their components. The velocity of the river Show more…
