Reference no: EM13702633

Problem: A passenger on a moving train walks at a speed of 1.8 m/s due north relative to the train. The passenger's speed with respect to the ground is 4.5 m/s at an angle of 37 degree west of north.

Part A: What are the magnitude and direction (west of north) of the velocity of the train relative to the ground?

Please provide a full detailed explanation for the solution.
