Amotorboat traveling from one shore to the other at a rate of 5m/s east encounters a current flowing at a rate of 3.5m/s north a. what is the resultant velocity?

Resultant velocity will be equal to 6.10 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given a motorbike is traveling with 5 m/sec in east

And a current is flowing at a rate of 3.5 m /sec in north

We know that east and north is perpendicular to each other

So resultant velocity will be vector sum of both velocity

So resultant velocity

So resultant velocity will be equal to 6.10 m/sec
