Aboat is headed with a velocity of 18 meters/second toward the west with respect to the water in a river. if the river is flowing with a velocity of 2.5 meters/second in the same direction as the boat. what would be the magnitude of the boat’s velocity?

Hi!

You know that the boat has a velocity of 18m/s with respect to the water, and the water has a velocity of 2.5m/s.

Both velocities are in the same direction.

Now, if you are standing in the shore, you have a velocity of 0m/h, then you will see the boat moving with his velocity with respect to the water plus the velocity of the water:

this is V = 18 m/s + 2.5m/s = 20.5m/s

Where the addition is direct because both vectors are in the same direction.

there is no correct list among the choices you've provided.

the list might look something like this:

-- baby human

-- piccolo

-- flute

-- soprano singer

-- trumpet

-- tenor singer

-- trombone

-- baritone singer

-- baritone horn

-- bass singer

-- tuba

since i had to make up the list myself, i made it easy on myself, and i didn't try to shuffle the string instruments and woodwinds into it too.
