Question

You ride in a boat on a river flowing at 1.8 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 5.3 m/s. Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units. 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)?
