Homework Statement
A swimmer is moving 30 degrees south of east at a constant speed of 5mph relative to the water. A current is flowing 30 degrees west of north at a constant speed of 1.5mph.
Find the velocity of the swimmer relative to the shore. After 2 hours, what is the swimmers displacement? How FAR is the swimmer from his target position if he swam unaware of the current?
Homework Equations
Vsl = Vsw + Vwl
Vox = Vo(cos30)
Voy = Vo(sin30)
The Attempt at a Solution
Vox = 5cos30 = 4.33
Voy = 5sin30 = 2.5
