Question

A boat travels at 15 m/s in a direction 45° east of north for an hour. The boat then turns and travels at 18 m/s in a direction 5° north of east for an hour. What is the magnitude of the boat’s resultant velocity? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. m/s What is the direction of the boat’s resultant velocity? Round your answer to the nearest whole degree. ° north of east

Answer 1

Answer:

31m/s

23.17°

Explanation:

Given the following :

From the diagram attached :

AB = 15m/s, BC = 18m/s, AC = a = resultant

Resolving Velocity into both vertical and horizontal component.

Kindly see attached picture for detailed explanation.

Answer 2

The first blank is 31m/s

The second blank is 23°
