3. Jason has a boat with a motor that drives it at 4.5 km/h in still water. He starts motoring downstream in a river at 9:00 a.m. The current in the river moves at 2.5 km/h. At 9:30 a.m., one of the lifejackets fell overboard and started drifting downstream on its own. At 10:00 a.m., Jason noticed that the lifejacket was missing and saw the missing lifejacket. He turned the boat and motored upstream. At what time did he recover the lifejacket? Explain your reasoning. (T-2, A-2, C-1)

A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30 north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m south. Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?
