You are the captain of a ship traveling on still waters. Your velocity is 10 m/s in the y–direction with respect to the water. You then see another ship moving with a velocity of 4 m/s in the x–direction and 12 m/s in the y–direction relative to your ship. Use the following subscripts: Y = your ship, O = the other ship, and W = the water.

(1) Write the vector equation for the velocity of the other ship with respect to the water in terms of the other two velocities given in the problem in the subscript format discussed in class
(2)Draw the vectors representing the equation you wrote in part

apologies, i don't learn physics using this method so its unfamiliar to me
i don't want to mislead you with the wrong answer
