Moving Boat Velocity Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Boat Velocity
Boat Velocity which is free to move about a vertical axis.
Symbol: vb
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Resultant Velocity
Resultant Velocity is the sum of its vector velocities. The sum of the vector forces on an object equals the scalar product of its mass and acceleration vector.
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Angle
Angle made with the direction of the boat aligned in the direction of the resultant velocity or made with the direction of the flow.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
cos
Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Syntax: cos(Angle)
