Answer:

D. By adding the vectors

V = 10km/h

Explanation:

Given

Represent the velocity of the river current as VR

V_R = 5km/h

Represent the velocity of the boat as VB

V_B = 5km/h

Required

How to calculate the velocity of boat relative to river current

From the question, we understand that both move in the same direction.

So, the relative velocity V is calculated as:

V = V_R + V_B

V = 5km/h + 5km/h

V = 10km/h

Notice that the both velocities are added together to get the relative velocities.

This is so because they both move in the same direction

<em>From the list of given options, only option D is correct.</em>

Mama L [17]

Answer:    Economic imperative

Explanation:  The economic imperative is, in fact, changeable, and it is a set of principles that governs the company in order to achieve the best possible strategy in the market. This is therefore a principle that changes as market conditions change, in line with the needs of the market, that is, customers. Thus, the business strategy changes from the national to the global level, in parallel with changes in cultural values ​​and time. Thus, with these changes, the economic imperative is also changing in order to make a profit, so the company is also guided by the needs of both the national and global market, together with the conditions and trends of the time and consumer culture of the time.

So Russ is guided by the company's policies, that is, his economic imperative travels the world to present his company's products as a seller globally. This means the trend of time and consumer culture and values ​​are such that according to the products of his company he sells, he has to travel globally.
