Vectors - Council Rock School District

Consider if you jumped into a river with a current flowing to the right at 2 m/s and you swam pointing directly to the other shore, moving through the water at 6 m/s. Yes you will be blown downstream. There are two vectors involved. Your water speed 6m/s, and the current speed 2m/s. You will move North East as shown here with respect to the shore. ................
