Question

Now assume that the stream flows east at 4.0 m/s. draw the vectors v⃗ w, representing the velocity of the stream, and v⃗ tot, representing the velocity of your rowboat relative to the stream bank. be sure to draw both vectors. draw v⃗ tot and v⃗ w starting at the tail and tip of v⃗ still respectively. the location, orientation and length of the vectors will be graded. each vector's length is displayed in meters per second.

Answer 1

Remember that the total velocity of the motion is the vector sum of the velocity you would have in still water and the stream. Always place the vectors carefully to be able to come up with an accurate sum vector.
