[QUOTE="Coco12, post: 4499281, member: 452522"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] a boat heads due east across a stream with a velocity of 20m/s. the stream is flowing from north to south at a rate of 5.0m/s. a)What is the resultant velocity? b) if the stream is 100 m wide, how much time does it take the boat to reach the other side? c) How far downstream is the boat when it reaches the other side?[h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] for the resultant, i just took pythagorean theorem to find out an answer of 20.6m/s. that angle I got by using tan inverse. which is 14.0 degrees To get the time do i just take the 100m and divide it by the resultant velocity? How do i find how far downstream the boat is when it reaches the other side? [/QUOTE]
