ooh okay that makes so much more sense thanks for your help CWatters just one last question if you don't mind... we are given V_aw= 2.4 m/s right? so what does it mean when it says: "The component of...
hey CWatters I apologize for such a late reply... i did not have access to the internet. I still need your help with this question if you have the time please. I found the answer to the question but I am having a hard time understanding how they got velocity of canoeist A to land diagram ... its...
So i did what you said CWatters and i found the unknown velocity to be 2.26 m/s? I think that's right but not really sure... but now i just do t=360.5/2.26?
hey thanks for replying!
so i had the right triangle already made and i found the total distance that he needs to travel is 360.5m. But I am having a little trouble analayzing the velocity triangle... the the horizontal vector is 0.8 m/s but is the 2.4 m/s the the diagonal vector or the one...
