Figure 2 shows that a river has a steady speed of virer- Sam swims upstream for a distance of
2.00km and returns to the starting point. If Sam can swim at a speed of 1.50 m/s in still water,
Vdownstream
Vupstream
Starting point
Vriver
Figure 2
calculate
(a) the time taken for the round trip if vrirer = 0.
(b) Sam's velocity with respect to the river bank when he swims upstream if
V'river = 0.800 m/s.
(c) Sam's velocity with respect to the river bank when he swims downstream
if vriver = 0.800 m/s.
(d) the time taken for the round trip if v-iver = 0.800 m/s.
