You want to swim straight across a river that is 76m wide. You find that you can do this if you swim at an angle of θ= 28° from the upstream direction at a constant rate of 1.5 m/s relative to the water. At what rate does the river flow? The angle θ is measured from the river bank (directly upstream is θ=0 while directly across the river is θ= 90)
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.395 m above his mouth. A) What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? (In degrees)
A projectile was fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 20 m/s. The same projectile was fired a second time with the sane initial speed of 20 m/s but at a different angle such that the height attained by the projectile in the second launch is one half of the horizontal distance covered by the projectile in the first launch. At what angle was the projectile launched second time?
Vertically falling rain makes slanted streaks on the side windows of a moving automobile. If the streaks make an angle of 45°, how does the speed of the automobile compare with the speed of the falling rain?
A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.20 m/s in still water, starts to swim directly across a river where the current is 0.90 m/s. The swimmer’s speed relative to the shore is what?
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming.
