Question

for this problem - draw the vector velocity triangle. Draw the ”east” vector first, then draw the ”north” vector. The ”magnitude of the velocity relative to Earth” will be the hypoteneuse of the triangle. For the angle, solve for the angle with respect to ”East”.¿¿ A ferry is crossing a river. The ferry is headed due north with a speed of 1.5 m/s relative to the water and the river’s velocity is 4.9 m/s to the east. a) What is magnitude of the boat’s velocity relative to earth? Find the direction in which the ferry is moving (measured from due east, with counterclockwise positive). Answer in units of ◦.
