5. A boat crosses a river. The river is flowing at 4 m/s. The boat starts at Point A and travels 6 m/s relative to the river, oriented perpendicular to the current. How far downstream will the boat have been carried when it reaches the opposite shore at Point B? VR = 4 m/s + Ax =? 75 m VB/R = 6 m/s A
