The constant speed of kayak paddler in still water is 0.5 m/s. The paddler needs to cross a 440 m wide river and arrive at the opposite side zero meters down stream from the starting point. The paddler accomplishes this by steering the craft 27 degrees upstream. Determine the crossing time in sec. Heavy rain causes the river flow rate to increase 15 %. The paddler repeats the crossing at the same speed with respect to still water and the same steering angle from Problem 10 and arrives at the opposite side some distance down stream from the starting point. How far downstream is this landing? The under the increased flow conditions, the same paddler repeats the crossing with the same steering angle and arrives at the opposite side zero meters downstream from the starting point. Determine the speed of the kayak in m/s as measured from a stationary drone high above.

Sheena can row a boat at 3.20 mi/h in still water. She needs to cross a river that is 1.20 mi wide with a current flowing at 1.80 mi/h. Not having her calculator ready, she guesses that to go straight across, she should head upstream at an angle of 25.0° from the direction straight across the river. a.)How far upstream or downstream from her starting point will she reach the opposite bank? If upstream, enter a positive value and if downstream, enter a negative value. b.)In order to go straight across, what angle upstream should she have headed?
A field biologist is studying the migration patterns of northern gannets (a type of seabird). On one particularday, she records that they fly 5.0 km northeast, then turn toward to the south of east by 30 degrees and fly 4.0 kmin the new direction. How far north or south of their original position are the birds?
Sheena can row a boat at 2.10 mi/h in still water. She needs to cross a river that is 1.20 mi wide with a current flowing at 1.90 mi/h. Not having her calculator ready, she guesses that to go straight across, she should head upstream at an angle of 25.0° from the direction straight across the river. How far upstream or downstream from her starting point will she reach the opposite bank? If upstream, enter a positive value and if downstream, enter a negative value. In order to go straight across, what angle upstream should she have headed?
Dock diving is a great form of athletic competition for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Sheba, the American Pit Bull Terrier, runs and jumps off the dock with an initial speed of 8.82 m/s at an angle of 28°with respect to the surface of the water. (Assume that the +x axis is in the direction of the run and the +y axis is up.) (a) If Sheba begins at a height of 0.76 m above the surface of the water, through what horizontal distance does she travel before hitting the surface of the water? Answer In m please (b) Write an expression for the velocity of Sheba, in component form, the instant before she hits the water. (Express your answer in vector form.) (c) Determine the peak height above the water reached by Sheba during her jump. ? m
