Objective: To collect sufcient data and perform appropriate calculations to
confdently provide the correct answer the pre lab question. Purposes: To investigate how perpendicular vectors afect each other to practice vector addition and relative velocity problems. Sources of Error: varying boat speeds due to position!wear of the batteries human reaction time using the stopwatches displacement measurements could not be very precise due to the rough set up of our river and the boat"s motion on it
