A man walks with a velocity of 2m/s due North on a ship, which moves due East at 3m/s. Find the relative velocity of the man to the Earth, in magnitude and direction.
I do it this way:
rel. vel. of man to ship = Vm -Vs
Vm = rel. vel. of man to ship + Vs
....
But the answer is 3.6 m/s in direction N56(degrees)E, so I have no idea how it gets that...Help me please...Thanks!
P.S. Vm is relative velocity of man to earth
