Answer:
Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed = 10 mph
Resultant velocity = 82.32 mph
Explanation:
The given data :-
i) Susan driving in north and speed of Susan is ( v₁ ) = 53 mph.
ii) Shawn driving in east and speed of Shawn is ( v₂ ) = 63 mph.
iii) The speed of both Susan and Shawn is relative to earth.
iv) The angle between Susan in north and Shawn in east is 90°.
We have to find Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed.
v₂₁ = v₂ - v₁ = 63 - 53 = 10 mph
Resultant velocity,
v = 82.32 mph
The more arms it has the less of a chance the prey has to swim away.
