A boat is traveling with a velocity of 18 meters/second relative to water and the river is flowing at a velocity of 2.5 meters/second relative to the shore. What will be the velocity of the boat if the boat and the water are in opposite directions?

Respuesta :

A boat is traveling with a velocity of 18 meters/second 
river is flowing at a velocity of 2.5 meters/second relative to the shore
if they are in opposite direction, the velocity of the boat would be:
v = 18 m/s - 2.5 m/sv = 15.5 m/s is the net velocity of the boat when a 2.5 m/s river is flowing opposite to it

Answer:

15.5
