Question

A man swims across the river with a velocity of 2 m/s relative to the flow of water. If the river flows steadily at 4 m/s toward south, what is the velocity of the man with respect to the shore? Solve for both the magnitude and the direction (in degrees).

Answer 1

92

Answer 2

yah dawg

Answer 3

Vm=velocity of man
Vr=velocity of river
Vmr=velocity of man relative to river
Vmr=Vm+Vr
=2i+4j
=4.47m/s
direction@ an angle of 63.4 degree
