A motorboat heads due east across a river at a speed of 10 mph. Vector u = represents the velocity of the motorboat. The current of the river is flowing due north at a speed of 2 mph. Vector v = represents the velocity of the current. What is the resultant speed of the motorboat?

Question

A motorboat heads due east across a river at a speed of 10 mph. Vector u = <10, 0> represents the velocity of the motorboat. The current of the river is flowing due north at a speed of 2 mph. Vector v = <0, 2> represents the velocity of the current. What is the resultant speed of the motorboat?
