Consider a boat heading due east at 15 miles/hour. The water's current is moving at 7.1 miles/hour at 45° south of east. Drag vectors for the boat and the current into the vector addition simulation. What do Rx, Ry, 0, and |R| represent in terms of the force of the current, and what do they represent in terms of the forces moving the boat?
