In a lake, two boats A and B are leaving Station1 at the same
time, Boat A is directed
straight to Station 2 at a constant velocity of 7m/s, while Boat B
is travelling in the North
West direction (N45 W). It takes Bost A one and half minute (90
seconds) to reach
Station 2. Station 2 is located to the west 315m south of Station
1.
a. What is the velocity of Boat B if it appears to a person inside
it that Boat A is
moving at rate of 8m/s?
b. At the instant when Boat A reaches Station 2, what is the
relative position
(magnitude and direction) of Boat B with respect to A?
