A motorcyclist started a race from the start line and from rest, and accelerated with the acceleration of 3m/s2 for 8 secs. Then he was moving with a constant velocity for 2 secs. What was the racer’s position from the start line after 9+2 seconds from the start of the race?

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.
