Question
A canoe is moving with velocity v = 5i + 3j m/sec relativeto the water. The velocity of the current in the wateris c =i + 2j m/sec.(a) What is the speed of the current?(b) What is the speed of the current in the direction ofthe canoes motion?
Solution
The first step in solving 13.3 problem number 55 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A canoe is moving with velocity v = 5i + 3j m/sec relativeto the water. The velocity of the current in the wateris c =i + 2j m/sec.(a) What is the speed of the current?(b) What is the speed of the current in the direction ofthe canoes motion?
From the textbook chapter THE DOT PRODUCT you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
