(a)
x-component
 m/s
(b)
y-component
 m/s

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given value---

  • ship sails due south at 5.00 m/s .
  • coast guard patrol boat heads 44.0° north of east at 4.00 m/s.

We have to find---

  • What are the x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat?
