(2) A boat with a maximum speed with a width d. The river is flowing with speed V. (a) Traveling in a straight line (i.e perpendicular to the shore) how long does it take the boat to et to a point directly across? (b) What is the fastest possible crossing time to any point on the opposite shore? [20 pts] v (relative to the water) is on one shore of a river
URGENT 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 a)Where on the north shore will you land if you...

A 230-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 2.1 m/s. A boat with speed of 7.8 m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank of the river pointed in a direction 35 degrees west of north. What is the magnitude of the boat's velocity relative to the ground (in m/s)? Enter only the numerical part of the answer in the box Question 2 1 pts A 212-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of...
Displacement vector A points due east and has a magnitude of 2.98 km. Displacement vector B points due north and has a magnitude of 1.54 km.

Find the magnitude and direction (relative to due east) of the resultant vector A +B+C+D. magnitude direction km ocounterdlockwise from due east Additional Materials section 1 8
3 400 29. Water traveling along a straight portion of a river normally flows fastest in the middle, and the speed slows to almost zero at the banks. Consider a long straight stretch of river flowing north, with parallel banks 40 m apart. If the maxi- mum water speed is 3 m/s, we can use a quadratic function as a basic model for the rate of water flow x units from the west bank: f(x) x(40 – x). (a) A...
