Water in a river flows with a component downstream (x-direction) of 6 m/s and a component across the stream (y-direction) of 4 m/s. A boat is attempting to cross the river. The velocity of the boat relative to the water is 20 m/s at an angle of 70 degrees with respect to the x-axis. Determine the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.
If va=a1. a2 x a3 and vb=b1. b2 x b3 , by use of the vector relation a x (b x c) = b(a.c) - c(a.b) show that vb = 1/va. (Noted that b1, b2 and b3 are reciprocal vectors )
A glider aircraft initially traveling due west at 86.0 km/h encounters a sudden gust of wind at 40.0 km/h directed toward the northeast (see the figure below). What are the speed and direction of the glider relative to the ground during the wind gust? (The velocity of the glider with respect to the ground is the velocity of the gilder with respect to the wind plus the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground.)

A fish swims directly east across a river, but it is pulled 672m downstream (south) by a strong 6.00 m/s current. The fish was going at its maximum speed of 4.0 m/s(relative to the water) directly across the river. a) How wide is the river? b) How long does it take the fish to cross the river? c) What was the fish's speed relative to the shore? d) What is the angle of the resultant vector? e) A fish swims directly across a river, but it's pulled by a strong current. If the river current doubled, then the time required for the fish to reach the opposite shore would be : one quarter, one half, doubled, the same?

Please refer to the question that is attached. The boat in the picture below is tring to travel north to cross the river at 10 m/s, however the water in the river is flowing west at 4.0 m/s. The boat instead angles itself to counteract the flow of the river. For this problem orient the coordinate axes with x pointing east and y pointing north. Question A: which of the following best represents the velocity of the water? 1. < 0, -4.0 > m/s 2. < 4.0, 0 > m/s 3. < 0, 4.0 > m/s 4. < -4.0, 0 > m/s Question B: Which of the following best represents the desired velocity of the boat? 1. < 0, 10.0 > m/s 2. < -10.0, 0 > m/s 3. < 10.0, 0 > m/s 4. < 0, -10.0 > m/s Question C: Which of the follwing best represents the adjusted velocity of the boat? 1. < -10.0, -4 > m/s 2. < 4, 10.0 > m/s…
Question 013A: Complete the following question involving vectors and net force. A boat travels towards the northeast at 23 knots, and there is an 8 knot crosswind out of the southeast affecting the boat. Convert the boat's motion (not the crosswind) into rectangular coordinates (aka: convert into "X" and "y"). O x = -16.26 y = -16.26 O x = 16.26 y = 16.26 O x = 0 y = 23 x = 16.26 y = -16.26 QUESTION 14 Question 013B: Complete the following question involving vectors and net force.

A group of dancers decided to have a contest on who’s gonna hit the target precisely. The loser will pay for their dinner. Dancer A fired the ball with a mass of 0.05 kg with an initial velocity 15 m/s at an angle 35° above the x-axis (neglect the air resistance). Find the total time the ball is in the air.
