Huck Finn walks at a speed of 0.70 m / s across his raft (that is, he walks perpendicular to the raft's motion relative to the shore). The heavy raft is traveling down the Mississippi River at a speed of 1.50 m / s relative to the river bank (Fig. 3-42). What is Huck's velocity (speed and direction) relative to the river bank?
