Suppose a boat moves at 12.0 m/s relative to the water. If theboat is in a river with the current directed east at 2.50 m/s,what is the boat’s speed relative to the ground when it isheading (a) east, with the current, and (b) west, against thecurrent?
A river is flowing from west to east at a speed of 10.0 km/h. A boat’s speed in the water is 20.0 km/h. If the boat is pointing straight north, and is blown off course, the new speed of the boat relative to the shore would be?
A man can row at 8.5 mi/hr in still water. If velocity of stream is 1.5 mi/hr, at what angle with the river bank must the boat be steered to travel the shortest distance in crossing river? What is the velocity of the boat with respect to the river bank in mi/hr?
