Vt = Vboat - Vriver 
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s 

If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .

Answer:Velocity of boat is 15.5 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:Using equation of relative motion

V_{boat,water}=V_{boat}-V{water}

=>V_{boat}=V_{boat,water}+V_{water}

where velocity of boat relative to water , V_{boat,water}=18 m/s

velocity of water, V_{water}=-2.5\frac{m}{s}

and velocity of boat , V_{boat}=? \frac{m}{s} to be calculated.

Putting the known values in the above equation , we get

V_{boat}= (18-2.5)\frac{m}{s}=15.5\frac{m}{s}

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then
Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

An object undergoes two successive displacements:
Gre4nikov [31]

The magnitude of the net displacement is 95.3 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the net displacement, we have to resolve each of the two displacements into the horizontal and vertical direction first.

1st displacement is:

d_1=79 m at 16.9^{\circ}

So its components are

d_{1x}=(79)(cos 16.9^{\circ})=75.6 m\\d_{1y}=(79)(sin 16.9^{\circ})=23.0 m

2nd displacement is:

d_2=16.7 m at 31.1^{\circ}

So its components are

d_{2x}=(16.7)(cos 31.1^{\circ})=14.3 m\\d_{2y}=(16.7)(sin 31.1^{\circ})=8.6 m

Therefore, the x- and y-components of the net displacement are:

d_x=d_{1x}+d_{2x}=75.6+14.3=89.9 m\\d_y=d_{1y}+d_{2y}=23.0+8.6=31.6 m

Therefore, the magnitude of the final displacement is:

d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(89.9)^2+(31.6)^2}=95.3 m
