A lifeguard wants to swim out to an anchored bouy 8.04 m from the shoreline. The lifeguard can swim at a speed of 4.36 m/s, and there is also a cross current running parallel to the beach, with the water moving at a speed of 1.00 m/s. If the lifeguard heads directly straight out from shore toward the bouy, how far to the side of it will the lifeguard end up when he gets out there?

A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.02 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.02 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 2.96-km-wide river. However, the current is 0.550 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream. (a) How long does it take the swimmer to cross the river? (b) How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river?

A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.60 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.60 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 2.67-km-wide river. However, the current is 1.40 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream. (a) How long does it take the swimmer to cross the river? (b) How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river? (Write on paper)

A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.5 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.5 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 3.0-km-wide river. However, the current is 0.91 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream. (a) How long does it take the swimmer to cross the river? Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. s (b) How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side...

A swimmer wants to cross a river, from point A to point B, as shown in the figure. The distance d1 (from A to C) is 200 m, the distance d2 (from C to B) is 180 m, and the speed of the current in the river is 1.0 m/s. Suppose that the swimmer's velocity relative to the water makes an angle of 45 degrees with the line from A to C, as indicated in the figure. To swim directly...

1) . A passenger on a moving train walks at a speed of 1.90 m/s due north relative to the train. The passenger's speed with respect to the ground is 4.5 m/s at an angle of 31.0° west of north. What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the train relative to the ground? 2) A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 8.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current is...
