Standing beside a river you can see the bottom of the river close to the bank but not in themiddle of the river, even if the river is shallower there. Why?

Q1. Jim stands beside a wide river and wonders how wide it is. He spots a large rock on the bank directly across from him. He then walks upstream 65 strides and judges that the angle between him and the rock, which he can still see, is now at an angle of 30° downstream Jim measures his stride to be about 0.8 m long. Draw a diagram. Estimate the width of the river.
I posted this earlier and only a couple got answered and was super confusing with the directions clearly been not read. Can someone please help me with these? I’m struggling with this concept right now and paying like $15 a month for this app...

A hunter is at a point along a river bank. He wants to get to his cabin, located 5 miles north and 8 miles west. (See figure.) He can travel 5 mph along the river but only 2 mph on the rocky land. How far upriver should he go in order to reach the cabin irn minimum time? The distance that the hunter should walk along the river is approximately mi. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round...

1.Suppose you are trying to cross from the South bank to the North bank of a river in your covered wagon. With all your earthly possessions, you are able to move your wagon at a speed of 1.3 m/s with respect to the water. The crossing is normally perfectly safe, but it’s been a warm spring and the snow melt is causing the river to swell to 20.0 m wide and to flow quickly at 1.0 m/s to the west.a)In...
You are standing at the edge of a cliff that drops straight down to a river below. You reach out over the cliff and toss a stone straight up in the air. The stpne passes you on its way down, 5.00 s after it was thrown. What is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 27.0 m below the point where the stone left your hand? Ignore air resistance. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
You are on the west bank of a river that is flowing north with a speed of 1.2 m/s. Your swimming speed relative to the water is 1.5 m/s and the river is 60 m wide. What is path relative to earth that allow you cross the river in the shortest time. Explain your reasoning. Be sure to explain fully, addressing the relevant underlying material.
Imagine you are nearsighted (can only see close objects clearly and far objects are blurry). At your last eye doctor
You have two people, one of whom is standing at the bottom of the building and another who is standing at the top. The person at the bottom of the building throws a ball vertically upward at 40.0 m/s^2 at the same speed instant the person at the top releases an identical ball from rest. If the vertical distance between release points is 1.00 x 10^2 m how far from the top of the building do the two balls meet?...
Sometimes a person cannot clearly see objects close up or far away. To correct this type of vision, bifocals are often used. The top half of the lens is used to view distant objects and the bottom half of the lens is used to view objects close to the eye. A person can clearly see objects only if they are located between 36 cm and 160 cm away from her eyes. Bifocal lenses are used to correct her vision. What...
