You have a right triangle and can use trig. Degree mode.

tan(theta) = adjacent/opposite( y component )

tan( 60 degrees) = (5 m/s)/(y comp.)

y component = 5 m/s)/(tan 60 degrees)

= 2.887 m/s ( you can call it 3 m/s )

Why do two boats get attracted if they come close?

when 2 boats r traveling close to each other,the velocity of the water inbetween the boats increases.As a result the pressure inside it decreases (according to bournalies theorm)..the pressure shud remain constant per unit volume..hence in order to equalize its pressure in the fluid, the two boats cosequently gets attracted..even it can demage them both..hope it works!


From the top of a cliff 32 meter high it is noted that the angles of depression of two boats lying in the line due east of the cliff are 21 degrees and 17 degrees How far are the boats apart?

Angle of depression equals angle of elevation (alternate angles) So use the tangent ratio to find the distance of the two ships are from the base of the cliff: 104.6672838 - 83.36285007 = 21.30443373 meters apart.
