Projectile Motion - Velocity, Magnitude and Direction
Not what you're looking for?
A passenger on a boat moving at 1.20 m/s on a still lake walks up a flight of stairs at a speed of 0.50 m/s. The stairs are angled at 45° pointing in the direction of motion as shown. What is the velocity of the passenger relative to the water?
Find the magnitude (m/s) and direction (above the water). See the attached for the diagram.
