The diagram shows the top view of three motorboats crossing a river (left bank to right bank).

Using the simulation, find the magnitude of the resultant velocity (ie the resultant speed) for each of the three motorboats.

Resultant speed of motorboat a =

Resultant speed of motorboat b =

Resultant speed of motorboat c =

Which motorboat will travel the fastest to reach the other side of the river? Explain.

Which motorboat will take the shortest time to reach the other side of the river? Explain.

Which motorboat will travel the shortest distance to reach the other side of the river? Explain.
