What is the whales velocity

Reference no: EM13699593

Problem: A ship is traveling east at 36.0 km/hr. A small boat is also traveling east at 4.05 m/s. The small boat sees a whale that is traveling due south in its reference frame at 6.78 m/s.

Part A: What is the whale's velocity relative to the ship's inertial frame?
