Question

You ride in a boat on a river flowing at 1.3 m/s (in the negative y direction). Suppose you would like the boat to move directly across the river (in the positive x direction) with a speed of 5.5 m/s. a. What is the corresponding speed of the boat's velocity relative to the water? b. What is the corresponding direction of the boat's velocity relative to the water (i.e. from the positive x direction)?

Name: you ride in a boat on a river flowing at 13 ms in the negative y direction suppose you would like the boat to move directly across the river in the positive x direction with a speed of 55 ms a what is
