A speedboat travels on a calm lake at a speed of 25 mi/hr, on a heading of 68° east of north. It leaves the south shore of the lake (whose shoreline is uniformly straight along an east-to-west line) at 10:00 am. How far from the shore will the boat be at 10:10 am?

Answer #1

Distance from shoreline = v*t

= 25 mi/hr *10/60 hr* cos 68 degree

= 4.1667 mi * cos 68 degree

= 1.56 mi answer

    A certain river is 0.5 mi wide, and flows due east at 2.7 mi/h relative to the shore. A boat attempts to cross the river straight from one shore to the other. If the boat travels due north at 1.7 mi/h relative to the river, (a) what is the speed of the boat relative to the shore? (b) how far downstream is the boat when it reaches the opposite shore?

    *Chapter 2, Practice Problem 2/085 The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 84 mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current of speed vc = 16 mi/hr but does not change its heading (relative to the water). Determine the subsequent velocity of the boat relative to the wind and express your result as a magnitude Vrel and compass direction measured clockwise from north. The current affects the motion of the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed vw = 24...

    1. A boat can travel at 25 mph wrt the water. If the boat is in a river that flows East at 10 mph, and we would like the boat to go straight across the river, at what angle should the boat point and what is its speed relative to the shore? 2. A boat travels at 25 mph wrt the river, 20°west of north. The river flows east at 10 mph. What is the velocity of the boat wrt...

    a. Two cyclists racing on parallel roads maintain constant speeds of 30 mi/hr and 25 mi/hr. The faster cyclists crosses the finish line one hour before the slower cyclist. How long was the race (in miles)? b. Because Boat A travels 1.5 times faster than Boat B, Boat B was given a 1.5-hr head start in a race. How long did it take Boat A to catch Boat B? c. A plane flew into a headwind and made the outbound...

    The New Hampshire State Police use aircraft to enforce highway speed limits. Suppose that one of the airplanes has a speed of 130 mi/h in still air. It is flying straight north so that it is at all times directly above a north–south highway. A ground observer tells the pilot by radio that a 60.0 mi/h wind is blowing but neglects to give the wind direction. The pilot observes that in spite of the wind the plane can travel 130...

    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...
