Question
![Zoe walks due west at 3km/hr on the deck of a boat which is sailing north at 15km/hr
in still water (no current). Find the velocity of Zoe relative to the surface of the water.
To begin your solution, use a cartesian plane with the y axis pointing north and express
Vzb (the velocity of Zoe relative to the boat) and vbw (the velocity of the boat relative to
the water) in component form.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe617aec5-c1fd-4d7e-94dc-ddd9f8d599ed%2F54fd1a6e-9de3-4e8b-a7b8-912bb062b885%2F75gfmv9_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
