Lucas rows at a constant speed of 1.2 m/s in still water. He wants to row...
A Swimmer speed in still water is 1.85m/s. If the boat is traveling north directly across a river whose westward current has a speed of 1.2m/s at what upstream angle must the boat head?
A man rows a boat at 4 m/s north in still water. The current in a river is 2 m/s east. The river is 40 m wide. If he wants to cross the river in the smallest possible time at what direction should he aim the boat?
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...
QUESTION 2 A man can row a boat at 2 m/s in still water. He wishes to cross a 50-m-wide river to point B, 50 m downstream. If the river flows with a velocity of 2 m/s, determine the speed of the boat and the time needed to make the crossing 50 m 2 m/s A 50 m B T T T Arial 3 (12pt) • T ABC III
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...
