REMARKS From the figure, we see that this problem can be solved with the Pythagorean theorem,
Because the problem involves a right triangle: the boat's x-component of velocity exactly cancels the
river's velocity. When this is not the case, a more general technique is necessary, as shown in the
following exercise. Notice that in the x-component of the relative velocity equation a minus sign had to be
included in the term -(10.0 km/h)sin 0 because the x-component of the boat's velocity with respect to
the river is negative.
If the boat is instead heading due north relative to the water (instead of relative to the
QUESTION
shore) while having the same speed relative to the water as the example above (see the figure below),
then the angle 0 in the two image will not be the same. What has changed? (Select all that apply.)

The velocity of the boat is now the hypotenuse of the triangle shown in the diagram.
The component of the boat velocity across the river is…
