Steer a motor boat to moorings in a river. Adjust boat speed and direction to allow for water current movements. Change the frame of reference between the boat, buoy and water current. Use vectors and trigonometry to calculate relationships between angles, speed, distance and time. Answer questions about frames of reference for cars and roads.
Objective
Students analyse the relative motion of objects by using vectors.
Students explore relationships between scalar and vector values.
