Question

A canoe has a velocity of 0.350m/s southeast relative to the earth. The canoe is on a river that is flowing at 0.520m/s east relative to the earth.

Find the magnitude of the velocity v? c/r of the canoe relative to the river.

Find the direction of the velocity of the canoe relative to the river.

Explanation / Answer

east componet=.35cos45=.247

Vc (east) relative to river=.273 (west direction)

Vc(south) realtive to riever=.247

Vc relative to river=-.273i+.247j=.368(south west)

tan theta=25.2 or 154.8
