A ship travels in a southerly direction at 250km/h .A man walks at a velocity of 10m/s^-1 from the back of ship to the front of the ship .Determine the man's resultant velocity.
1 answer
10 m/s x (60 seconds/min) x (60 min/hr) x (1 km/1000 m) = ? km/hr which is the man's velocity in km/hr. Add that to the velocity of the ship to get the total velocity of the man. The resultant is in km/hr in a southerly direction.
