A boat is moving due east at 15 miles per hour when it encounters a current LaTeX: \textbf{C} = 2\textbf{i}+17\textbf{j}C = 2 i

+ 17 j. What is the path of the boat in this current if the boater keeps it pointed due east? What direction should the boater steer in order to go due east?

Answer:

a) \vec v_{B} - \vec v_{C} = 3\, i - 17\,j, b) \theta = 79.992^{\textdegree} (clockwise)

Step-by-step explanation:

The resultant velocity of the boat must be:

\vec v_{B} = 15\,i

Likewise, the velocity of the current is:

\vec v_{C} = 2\,i + 17\,j

a) The intended velocity of the boat is:

\vec v_{B} - \vec v_{C} = (15-2)\,i  + (0-17)\,j

\vec v_{B} - \vec v_{C} = 3\, i - 17\,j

b) The direction of the boat is:

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{17}{3} \right) (clockwise)

\theta = 79.992^{\textdegree} (clockwise)

Alexus [3.1K]
So there is a real and imaginary axis
the midopint is just the average of them
average between the reals is (5-3)/2=2/2=1
average between imaginaries is (18i+2i)/2=20i/2=10i

center is 1+10i

3,000 is 10 times as much as
nalin [4]

3,000 is 10 times as much as

3000 = 10 times of what number

We need to find 10 times what number gives us 3000

Let the unknown number be x

3000 = 10 times x

3000 = 10x

To solve for x, we divide by 10 on both sides

\frac{3000}{10}=\frac{10x}{10}

300 = x

So, the unknown number is 300

3000 = 10 times 300

3000 is 10 times as much as 300
