Answer:
[tex]v_x = 11.78 m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Velocity of the ship is given as
[tex]v = 12 units[/tex]
the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current
so we will have two components of the velocity
1) along the direction of the current
2) perpendicular to the direction of the current
so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as
[tex]v_x = v cos\theta[/tex]
[tex]v_x = 12 cos11[/tex]
[tex]v_x = 11.78 m/s[/tex]
