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.
