1. A surge is moving at 9 f t/s into a basin of depth 1.4 f t where the speed is zero. Find the water depth behind the surge and the drift velocity behind the surge (that is, the velocity downstream of the surge in a stationary frame of reference). 2. A river of depth 2 m flows downstream at 1 m/s. A surge of depth H moves up the river at 5 m/s relative to a stationary observer on the bank of the river. Find H.

Question: A man can swim at 4 ft/s in still water. He wishes to cross the 40-ft-wide river to point B, 30 ft downstream. The river flows with a velocity of 2 ft/s. Note: While in the water he must not direct himself toward point B to reach this point. (Figure 1) Part A: Determine the speed of the man. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B: Determine the time needed to make the crossing. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
When a volleyball coach releases a volleyball from a height of 2 m above the gym floor, it falls to the floor and bounces back to two-thirds the same height. When it is in contact with the floor, the lower side of the ball is temporarily flattened. Suppose the maximum depth of the dent is 1 cm. (Assume the positive direction is upward.)1. Determine the acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while it is in contact with the floor and compressing. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 2. Determine the velocity of the ball (in m/s) as it leaves the floor on the rebound. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 3. What If? If instead of dropping the ball, the coach throws it down (from some unknown height) with such a speed that it bounces back up to a height three times its original height, determine the new acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while in contact with the floor and expanding.
