Suppose at one point along the Nile River a ferryboat must travel straight across a 1.22-mile stretch from west to east. At this location, the river flows from south to north with a speed of 2.31 m/s. The ferryboat has a motor that can move the boat forward at a constant speed of 27.1 mph in still water. If the captain points the boat directly at the target location on the east bank of the river, how far downstream will she be from the target when she lands on the east bank?

Suppose at one point along the Nile River a ferryboat must travel straight across a 1.08-mile stretch from west to east. At this location, the river flows from south to north with a speed of 2.85 m/s. The ferryboat has a motor that can move the boat forward at a constant speed of 26.0 mph in still water. If the captain points the boat directly at the target location on the east bank of the river, how far downstream will...
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...
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...
2. A swimmer wants to swim across a river that runs east to west with a current of 0.5 m s-1 and is 30 m wide. He plans to swim from the south bank of the river to the north bank and can swim at a steady speed of 2 m s current (a) If he wants to arrive on the north bank directly north of his starting point (the point directly on the opposite side of the river), at...

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...
