Two boats leave a harbor at the same time. BoatA cruises northwest at a rate of 18 knots (nautical miles per hour). Boat B cruises north at a rate of 21 knots.
Assume that x-axis points to the east and y-axis points to the north.
(a) Find the displacement vector from boat A to boat B half an hour later.
avec(i)+bvec(j), where a= and b=
(b) For the passengers in boat A , what does the velocity of boat B appear to be?
