A cruise ship sails due south at 2.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 24.0° north of west at 4.40 m/s. What are the x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat? (Assume that the +x-axis is east and the +y-axis is north. Enter your answers in m/s.) HINT (a) x-component (b) y-component m/s m/s
