A boat is aimed at the opposite shore of a 324.06 m wide river and rowed at a speed of 4.02 m/s relative to the water. The current in the river is at a right angle to the velocity of the boat relative to the water. The current in the river is at 3.43 m/s. What is the actual velocity of the boat relative to shore? Give your angle as the angle the actual velocity makes with the velocity of the boat relative to the water. V= 0 =

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…

The driver of a motorboat that can move at 12 m/s in still water wishes to travel directly across a narrow strait in which the current flows at 8 m/s. At what angle upstream should the driver head the boat? a) 63.3° b) 27.8° c) 48.1° d) 41.8°
A passenger on a moving train walks at a speed of 1.60 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 33.0° west of north. What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity the train relative to the ground? magnitude m/s direction o west of north

John and Mary are skating at an ice rink. John skates at a constant speed of 7.1 m/s, with respect to the ice surface, directly south. Mary skates at a constant speed of 10.5 m/s in a direction of 31° west of south, with respect to the ice What are the magnitude and direction of Mary's velocity with respect to John? Give the magnitude in m/s, and give th direction as measured relative to due south. magnitude m/s direction o west of south
A boy decides to propose to his girlfriend in a hot air balloon. They are in the balloon, and it is moving 15 degrees south of east at a velocity 10 m/s relative to the air. When the balloon has a height of 90 m the boy is about to propose to but he drops the ring. The wind is also blowing to the east at 12 m/s relative to the ground. They now need to find the ring. a) What is the horizontal distance ( magnitude and direction) the ring lands on the ground from where it drops out of the balloon? b) What is the final velocity of the ring right before it hits the ground? c) Draw the vertical position vs time graph, velocity vs time graph, and acceleration vs time graph of the ring.
Suppose someone finds herself with her rowboat on the bank of a river that is 3 km wide. Her campsite is on the other side of the river, 8 km down the river bank from her starting point. First, she will row her boat across the river, then walk along the river bank to her campsite. She can row 3 kph in the river, and walk along the river bank at 5 kph. We can assume that the current in the river is negligible. Toward what point, in miles, on the other side of the river should she row in order to reach her campsite in the least time? Note: Omit units of measurement from your answer. Round to the nearest thousandth. Solution:
A canoe has a velocity of 0.470 m/s southeast relative to the earth. The canoe is on a river that is flowing at 0.450 m/s east relative to the earth. Find the magnitude of the velocity v⃗ c/r of the canoe relative to the river.
