An athlete crosses a 29 m wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 1.1 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance 35m downstream from his starting point. How fast is the water in the river flowing with respect to the ground in m/s?
A ferryboat has a still water speed of 10.3 km/hr. Its helmsman steers the boat due north across a river that runs with a current of 5.2 km/hr east. If the trip lasts 1.5 hr, how wide is the river? How far east does the ferry travel during the trip?
A boat can travel 2.3 m/s in still water. If the boat travels across a stream whose current is 1.2 m/s what is the boat's velocity ( magnitude and direction) compared to the shore? What will the position of the boat be after 3.00 s?
A boat moves north at a speed of 2.7 m/s across a river that flows west at a rate of 1.2 m/s. What is the boats speed relative to the riverbank?
A boat crosses a river of width 225 m in whichthe current has a uniform speed of 1.35 m/s.The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e., the direction in which the boat points) perpendicularto the river and a throttle setting to give aconstant speed of 2.92 m/s relative to the water.What is the magnitude of the speed of theboat relative to a stationary shore observer?Answer in units of m/s. How far downstream from the initial positionis the boat when it reaches the opposite shore?Answer in units of m
A plane that is capable of travelling at 140 m/s wishes to travel due north from City A to City B, 500 km away, but encounters a constant crosswind that blows 25 m/s due west. What must the plane’s heading be in order to reach its destination? Suppose the pilot has no navigational expertise and decides to aim straight for City B. How far west of City B will the plane end up?
