The velocity or speed of the kayaker going north at a speed of 3 m/s and that of the current going east at a speed of 2 m/s create a resultant speed of √13 m/s. The new distance that has to be traveled by the kayaker in order to move 100 m north is calculated through the equation,
3 / √13 = 100 / x
The value of x is 120 m. The total time it will take for the kayaker to reach the destination is,
t = 120 / √13 = 33.33 s
