A 400.0-m-wide river flows from west to east at 30.0 m/min. Your boat moves at 110 m/min relative to the water no matter which direction you point it. To cross this river, you start from a dock at point A on the south bank. There is a boat landing directly opposite at point B on the north bank, and also one at point C, 75.0 m downstream from B
Answers in 3 sig figs
a)Where on the north shore will you land if you point your boat perpendicular to the water current?
b)What distance will you have traveled?
c)If you initially aim your boat directly toward point C and do not change that bearing relative to the shore, where on the north shore will you land?
d)To reach point C at what bearing must you aim your boat?
e)How long will it take to cross the river?
f)What distance do you travel?
g)What is the speed of your boat as measured by an observer standing on the river bank?
Let the boat will land at P ( fig-1) on the North shore.
Since boat moves at 110 m/min relative to the water, let
VBW= Velocity of boat with respect to water
= 110 m/min

A 400.0-mm-wide river flows from west to east at 30.0 m/min. Your boat moves at 90 m/min relative to the water no matter which direction you point it. To cross this river, you start from a dock at point A on the south bank. There is a boat landing directly opposite at point B on the north bank, and also one at point C , 75.0 m downstream from B (Figure 1). B)What distance will you have traveled? D)To reach...
A river flows due east at 1. 50 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant velocity of 10.0 m/s due north relative to the water. (a) What is the velocity of the boat relative to the shore? (b) If the river is 300 m wide, how far downstream has the boat moved by the time it reaches the north shore?
A river flows due east at 2.69 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant velocity of 12.2 m/s due north relative to the water. What is (a) the magnitude (m/s) and (b) the direction (degrees east of north) of the boat’s velocity relative to shore? (c) If the river is 324 m wide, how far (m) downstream has the boat moved by the time it reaches the north shore?
A 70 m wide river flows from north to south at a speed of 3.2 m/s. A swimmer swims relative to the water at a rate of 4.6 m/s aiming across the river at an angle of 24 degrees north of east. What is the speed of the swimmer with respect to the shore? How far downstream (south), from a point directly across the river, does the swimmer hit the shore?
A 260 -m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 1.5 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 3.6 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 66 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) At what angle, measured relative...

An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 6.0 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 71 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) At what angle, measured relative...
