Follow-up Question

it shows this answer to part b is incorrect

A cruise ship sails due south at 2.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 24.0° north of west at 4.40 m/s. What are the x-component and y-component of the velocity
of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat? (Assume that the +x-axis is east and the +y-axis is north. Enter your answers in m/s.)
HINT
(a) x-component
4.02
In relative velocity problems, there will be three objects or reference frames. Carefully identify each and construct the relative velocity equation as
shown in Section 3.3. m/s
(b) y-component
3.79
