11. A boat is rowed at 8 km/h directly.
across a river that flows at 6 km/h
a. What is the resultant speed of that boat?
b. How fast and in what direction can the
boat be rowed to reach a destination directly
across the river?



Answer :

The correct answer is a. 10 km/h.

b. The boat would move at 10 km/h at a 37-degree upstream angle to cross straight (into the current)

To be more precise, the rate of change in an object's position relative to a frame of reference and time is another way to describe velocity. It determines how quickly or slowly something is going. Consider a scenario in which there are two moving items. If both items are going in the same direction, it is simple to determine which one is moving faster than the other.

v = √v_x^2 +v_y^2

v = √((8 km/h)^2 + (6 km/h)^2)

=10 km/h

direction = θ = tan^-1 (opposite / adacrent)

= tan^-1 (6/8)

= tan^-1 (37)

= 37 degree down stream.
