A dolphin wants to swim directly back to its home bay, which is 0.800 km due west. It can swim at a speed of 6.20 m/s relative to the water, but a uniform water current flows with speed 2.83 m/s in the southeast direction. What direction should the dolphin head? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates south of west and negative indicates north of west. How long does it take for the dolphin to swim the 0.800-km distance home? min

A rowboat crosses a river with a velocity of 0.92 m/s at an angle 43◦ North of West relative to the water. The river is 556 m wide and carries a current of 1.16 m/s due East.

Miguel, an Ultimate Frisbee player, is running three drills (Fig. P3.17). In the first drill. Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and then makes a 90 turn to the right, running an additional distance d. In the second drill, Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and makes a 95 turn to the right before running an additional distance d. In the final drill, Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and makes an 85 turn to the right before running an additional distance d. a. In which case did Miguel end up farthest from his starting point? In which case did he end up closest to his starting point? b. In which case(s) does Miguel end up farther away from his starting point than distance d? c. At what angle will his distance away be exactly d?
You drive 7.50 km in a straight line in a direction 15° east of north. (a) Find the distances you would have to drive straight east and then straight north to arrive at the same point. (This determination is equivalent to find the components of the displacement along the east and north directions.) (b) Show that you still arrive at the same point if the east and north legs are reversed in order.
