Asked by Kennedy

A boat travels at 15 m/s in a direction 45° east of north. The boat then turns and travels at 18 m/s in a direction 5° north of east.

What is the magnitude of the boat’s resultant velocity? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

V1 = 15m/s[45o E of N.] = 45o N. of E.
V2 = 18m/s[5o N. of E.].

Vr = 15m/s[45o] + 18m/s[5o].
Vr = 15*Cos45+15*sin45 + 18*Cos5+18*sin5.
Vr = (10.61+10.61i) + (17.93+1.57i) = 28.54 + 12.18i.
Magnitude = sqrt(28.54^2 + 12.18^2) =

Tan A = Y/X = 12.18/28.54 = 0.42887. A =
