8. A 70 m wide river flows at 0.80 m/s. A girl swims across it at 1.4 m/s relative to the water.(a) What is the least time she requires to cross the river?(b) How far downstream will she be when she lands on the opposite shore?(c) At what angle to the shore would she have to aim, in order to arrive at a point directlyopposite the starting point?(d) How long would the trip in part (c) take?

Given Width of the river W = 70 m Velocity of the stream vr = 0.80 m/s Velocity of the girl vg = 1.4…

An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.335 m above his mouth. What is the minimum speed at which the archer fish must spit?
On a day when the water is flowing relatively gently, water in the Niagara River is moving horizontally at 4.5 m/s before shooting over Niagara Falls. After moving over the edge, the water drops 53 m to the water below. If we ignore air resistance, how much time does it take for the water to go from the top of the falls to the bottom? How far does the water move horizontally during this time?
A projectile is launched on earth at an angle θ, relative to horizontal direction. At half of its maximum height the speed of the projectile is 1.00 m/s, and at its maximum height the speed of the projectile is 0.41 m/s. What is the angle θ ?θ = °

A boat heads directly accross a river 220 m wide. it takes it 570 seconds to cross, but it ends up 100 m downstream. what its peed relative to the water? that is how fast is the boat?
Eddie Manalak is a Filipino stuntman, he wishes to cross the 520m distance between two tall buildings by being shot from a cannon. He wishes to be launched at 60° to the horizontal so that he can spend more time in waving to the crowd. With what speed must he be launched? ANS. 76.7 m/s
Coast Guard rescue swimmers are trained toleap from helicopters into the sea to save boaters in distress. Therescuers like to step off their helicopter when it is “ten and ten,”which means that it is ten feet above the water and moving forward horizontally at ten knots. What are (a) the speed and (b) thedirection of motion as a rescue swimmer enters the water following a ten and ten jump?
An enemy ship is on the east side of a mountain island, as shown in the figure. The enemy ship has maneuvered to within d1 = 2077 m of the h = 1940 m high mountain peak and can shoot projectiles with an initial speed of vi = 244 m/s. If the western shoreline is horizontally d2 = 273 m from the peak, what are the distances from the western shore at which a ship can be safe from the bombardment of the enemy ship?
The operator of a boat wishes to cross a 5-km wide river that is flowing to the east at 10 m/s. He wants to reach the exact point on the opposite shore 15 min after starting. With what speed and in what direction should the boat travel?
A quarterback passes the football downfield at 19.0 m/s. It leaves his hand 1.70 m above the ground and is caught by a receiver 36.0 m away at the same height. What is the maximum height of the ball on its way to the receiver? so y0 = 1.7m x(t) = 36m , i guess i will need angle and t to get the answer, but i have no idea how to find them
Sheena can row a boat at 2.10 mi/h in still water. She needs to cross a river that is 1.20 mi wide with a current flowing at 1.90 mi/h. Not having her calculator ready, she guesses that to go straight across, she should head upstream at an angle of 25.0° from the direction straight across the river. How far upstream or downstream from her starting point will she reach the opposite bank? If upstream, enter a positive value and if downstream, enter a negative value. In order to go straight across, what angle upstream should she have headed?
A man points his rowboat north, straight across a river of width 114.3 m. The river flows due east. The man starts across, rowing steadily at 0.90 m/s @ north and reaches the other side of the river at a point 207 m downstream from his starting point. What is the speed of the river?
