A passenger on a boat moving at 2.40 m/s on a still lake walks up a flight of stairs at a speed of 0.60 m/s. The stairs are angled at 45° pointing in the direction of motion.
a). What is the magnitude of the velocity of the passenger relative to the water?
b). What is the direction of the velocity of the passenger relative to the water (countrrclockwise from the positive x axis)?
