A sailboat runs before the wind with a constant speed of 3.5 m/s in a direction 28 ∘ north of west. You may want to review (Pages 89 - 92) .

How far west has the sailboat traveled in 22 min?

How far north has the sailboat traveled in 22 min?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Given:

Speed of boat,

The boat is pointing along , which means the path traveled by boat makes with the west axis and the boat is traveling towards left.

Speed = Distance /Time

Distance = Speed*Time

Note: Convert min to sec. Multiply by 60.

----------------

How far west has the sailboat traveled in 22 min?

The speed vector can be split into its components

Distance traveled along the west direction,
