I'm confusion, can I please get help???

The boat's velocity relative to the riverbank can be resolved into two components. the component going north is 2.7 m/s and the component going west is 1.2 m/s.we add these two vectors and then find the magnitude of the resultant to get the speed.the magnitude of the resultant vector from adding can be obtained by the pythagorean theorem.    to two significant figures, the boat's speed relative to the riverbank is 3.0 m/s.

F  you double the  force, you double the acceleration, but  if  you double the  mass, you velocity. all bodies accelerate at the  same  rate regardless of size or  mass.
