A river has a steady speed of 0.300 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.00 km and swims back to the starting point. If the student can swim at a speed of 1.10 m/s in still water, how long does the trip take (swimming up and down in the current)? If the water were still, by how much would the trip be longer or shorter? (Give a negative answer for a shorter trip.)

A river has a steady speed of 0.500 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.00 km and swims back to the starting point. If the student can swim at a speed of1.20 m/s in still water, how long does the trip take? Compare this with the time the trip would take if the water were still.
A river has a steady speed of 0.300 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.00 km and swims back to the starting point.

PRACTICE ANOTHER MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER A bag of sugar weighs 4.00 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is one-sixth that on Earth? Repeat for Jupiter, where g is 2.64 times that on Earth. Find the mass of the bag of sugar in kilograms at each of the three locations. Earth kg Moon kg Jupiter kg
A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into --- a head wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1 hour 12 minutes. What is his speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing? Your answer is his speed equals the wind speed equals
A bridge that was 11.2 m long has been washed out by the rain several days ago. How fast must a car be going to successfully jump the stream? Although the road is level on both sides of the bridge, the road on the far side is 3.3 m lower than the road on this side. 喜券

A river has a steady speed of 0.650 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.00 km and swims back to the starting point. If the student can swim at a speed of 1.50 m/s in still water, how long does the trip take (swimming up and down in the current)? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. sIf the water were still, by how much would the trip be longer or shorter? (Give a negative answer for a shorter trip.)
A 5m tall elevator travels uniformly up an elevator shaft at 8m/s. At some point in time, a bolt falls from the top of the elevator and falls freely down the shaft. You can ignore the effect of air resistance. How many seconds after the fall will the bolt pass the bottom of the elevator?
You are on the roof of a Physics Building, 51 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.84 m tall, is approaching the building at constant speed of 1.19 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on his head, how far should your professor be when you release the egg? Do not round the answer. Put all the decimals.
We travel from Winnipeg to Regina and back. The total distance is 1100km. The return to Winnipeg is made in a snowstorm at an average speed of 20km/h slower than the outward journey. If the whole trip took 13 hours, what is the average speed in each direction?
A rocket is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity of 80 m/s at the ground level. Its engine then fires and it accelerated at 4m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1200m. At that point, the engine fail and the rocket goes into free fall. Disregard air resistance. How long was the rocket above the ground?
An object moves in one dimensional motion with constant acceleration a = 4.5 m/s². At time t = 0 s, the object is at xo = 2.9 m and has an initial velocity of vo = 4 m/s. How far will the object move before it achieves a velocity of v = 7 m/s? Your answer should be accurate to the nearest 0.1 m.
You drop a stone down a well that is 7.26m deep. How long is it before you hear the splash? The speed of sound in air is 316.4m/s and air resistance is negligible.
