The correct Answer is:
To find the relative velocity of the boat with respect to the water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given velocities - The velocity of the boat with respect to the ground is given as: \[ \vec{V}_{\text{boat}} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} \] - The velocity of the water with respect to the ground is given as: \[ \vec{V}_{\text{water}} = -3\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} \] ### Step 2: Write the formula for relative velocity The relative velocity of the boat with respect to the water can be calculated using the formula: \[ \vec{V}_{\text{boat, water}} = \vec{V}_{\text{boat}} - \vec{V}_{\text{water}} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the known values into the formula Substituting the values we identified in Step 1 into the formula from Step 2: \[ \vec{V}_{\text{boat, water}} = (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}) - (-3\hat{i} - 4\hat{j}) \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression When we subtract the velocity of the water, we need to change the signs: \[ \vec{V}_{\text{boat, water}} = (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}) + (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}) \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{V}_{\text{boat, water}} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} = (3 + 3)\hat{i} + (4 + 4)\hat{j} = 6\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} \] ### Step 5: State the final answer Thus, the relative velocity of the boat with respect to the water is: \[ \vec{V}_{\text{boat, water}} = 6\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} \]

To find the relative velocity of the boat with respect to the water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given velocities - The velocity of the boat with respect to the ground is given as: \[ \vec{V}_{\text{boat}} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} \] - The velocity of the water with respect to the ground is given as: ...
