A boat crossing a river can move at 5 m/s with respect to the water. The river is flowing to the right at 3 m/s. In (a), the boat points straight across the river and is carried downstream by the water. In (b), the boat is angled upstream by the amount needed for it to travel straight across the river. For each situation, draw the velocity vectors VRS of the river with respect to the shore, VBR of the boat with respect to the river, and VBS of the boat with respect to the shore, b.
