2. A group of men decided to cross a river with a motorboat. The average velocity of the river's flow is 3 m/s. If the boat is traveling at a velocity of 4 m/s North, (a) will the boat lands on exact opposite side of the river where they started? (b) what it the boat's relative velocity with respect to the Earth? (c) what is the boat's relative velocity with respect to the river.
