A swimmer wants to swim at a speed of 3 m/s north across a river flowing at 0.8m/s,east. What is the actual direction and quantity of the swimmer's motion?
((I have no idea where to even start))
1 answer
draw the vectors. Since they are perpendicular, the resultant is just the hypotenuse of the triangle.
