A motor boat is traveling east with a velocity of 7.3 meters/second. It experiences a current of 0.34 meters/second from the east. Find the resultant velocity of the boat and its direction.

Question

Assuming direction of motor boat be positive
velocity of motor boat =+7.3 m/s
flow rate of current = -0.34 m/s

net velocity of boat = (velocity of motor boat + flow rate of current)

The sign of final result will give u the direction.
