A river has a steady speed of 0.500 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.00 km and swims back to the starting point. If the student can swim at a speed of1.20 m/s in still water, how long does the trip take? Compare this with the time the trip would take if the water were still.
A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North
Dakota
a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into
---
a head wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back,
the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return
trip takes only 1 hour 12 minutes. What is his speed in still
air, and how fast is the wind blowing?
Your answer is
his speed equals
the wind speed equals
A river has a steady speed of 0.300 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.00 km and swims back to the starting point. If the student can swim at a speed of 1.50
m/s in still water, how long does the trip take (swimming up and down in the current)?
If the water were still, by how much would the trip be longer or shorter? (Give a negative answer for a shorter trip.)
