Explanation:
The addition of the two vectors boat from river + river from earth = boat from earth. So to get boat from river we must subtract. boat from earth - river from earth. the river is 0.520 eastThe boat from earth is 0.420 * sin (45) east = 0.297 east
and 0.420 * cos ( 45) south = 0.297 south The boat from earth is 0.420 * sin (45) east = 0.297 east
and 0.420 * cos ( 45) south = 0.297 south The boat from earth is 0.420 * sin (45) east = 0.297 east
and 0.420 * cos ( 45) south = 0.297 south Subtract the velocity of the river from earth ( i.e add 0.520 west ) to get the result. 0.297 south remains but the other component is now 0.223 west.
Use pythagoras theory to calculate the magnitude.
0.371
For the angle west of south,
tan(x) = 0.223 / 0.297
x = atan(0.223/0.297)
= 36.9 degrees west of south
A canoe has a velocity of 0.40 m/s southeast relative to the earth. The canoe is on a river that is flowing 0.50 m/s east relative to the earth. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the canoe relative to the river.
