nswer all questions, just atke from monthly quota A boat, capable of travelling at a speed of 5.1m/s in still water, is crossing a river that is flowing with a velocity of 2.8m/s [E]. The river is 3.1 x 102 m wide. (a) Draw a diagram to describe the situation. (b) If the boat is aimed northward, what is the velocity relative to the shore? (c) How long (much time) does the crossing take? (d) Where is the landing position(displacement) of the canoe relative to its starting position?

the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angleof 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot?
A plane that is capable of travelling at 140 m/s wishes to travel due north from City A to City B, 500 km away, but encounters a constant crosswind that blows 25 m/s due west. What must the plane’s heading be in order to reach its destination? Suppose the pilot has no navigational expertise and decides to aim straight for City B. How far west of City B will the plane end up?
An athlete crosses a 25-m-wide river by swimmingperpendicular to the water current at a speed of 0.5 m/srelative to the water.
