Question

A ship is steaming towards east with a speed of 8 m/s .A women runs across the deck at a speed of 6m/s towards north. What is the velocity of the women relative to the sea?​

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Explanation:

8 towards east and 6 towards north

v=sq. root of (8^2+6^2)

Answer 2

relative speed of ship be A=8m/s

motion of women in North direction B= 6m

and relative motion of women be C= ?

by Pythagoras theorem

A*A+B*B=C*C

hence relative motion of the women with relation to sea is 10m/s
