Question 013A: Complete the following question involving vectors and net force. A boat travels towards the northeast at 23 knots, and there is an 8 knot crosswind out of the southeast affecting the boat. Convert the boat's motion (not the crosswind) into rectangular coordinates (aka: convert into "X" and "y"). O x = -16.26 y = -16.26 O x = 16.26 y = 16.26 O x = 0 y = 23 x = 16.26 y = -16.26 QUESTION 14 Question 013B: Complete the following question involving vectors and net force.
