- 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?

- Firefighters use a high-pressure hose to shoot a stream of water at a burning building. The water has a speed of 25.0 m/s as it leaves the end of the hose and then exhibits projectile motion. The firefighters adjust the angle of elevation a of the hose until the water takes 3.00 s to reach a building 45.0 m away. Ignore air resistance; assume that the end of the hose is at ground level.

- On the roof of a 24 meter high building there is a cannon. The barrel of the cannon is 4.0 meters long and forms the angle ? = 30° up from the horizontal.

How long does it take for the bullet to hit the ground?arrow_forwardChinook salmon are able to move upstream faster by jumping out of the water periodically; this behavior is called porpoising. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s at an angle of 30°, sails through the air a distance L before returning to the water, and then swims a distance L under water at a speed of 3.70 m/s before beginning another porpoising maneuver.
