Answer:

The resultant velocity will be 12 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

If the river flows at 2m/s downstream while the boat travels downstream at 10m/s, simply add the two speeds to find the resultant velocity:

Resultant Velocity = 10 m/s + 2 m/s = 12 m/s.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the magnitude:

$Given\\x=10m/s\\y=2m/s\\C=\sqrt{10^2+2^2} =\sqrt{100+4} =\sqrt{104} =10.19$

To establish the angle:

$tan^-^1(2/10)=11.30$

Thus, the resultant velocity of the boat is

$10.19 m/s$ at $11.30^0$
