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 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?
