Answer:
The velocity of the canoe relative to the river is 0.385 m/s, S37.26⁰W
Explanation:
Given;
velocity of the canoe relative to the earth,
velocity of the river relative to the earth,
The velocity of the canoe relative to the river is calculated as;
The x - component of the velocity of the canoe relative to the earth;
The y-component of the velocity of the canoe relative to the earth;
Note: velocity of the river relative to the earth has only x-component = 0.54 m/s
Apply equation (1) and (2) to calculate the velocity of the canoe relative to the river;
