A person at a point A on one side of a river of width 10 km, is trying to get, as fast as possible to a point B at the opposite side, which is 20 km downstream. For this she has to cross the river to a point P in the opposite side in a motorboat that makes 20 km/h. There, her valet is waiting with a motorcycle that makes 40 km/h, that takes her to point B. Determine, justifying everything, the point P and the amount of time it takes her to get from A to B. (Once you get the exact values, you can approximate them with a calculator, if you want.)

The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?

Another researcher at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Lisa, is studying the growth of a bacteria. She starts his experiment with 50 of the bacteria that grows at a rate of 15% per hour. He will check on the bacteria every 8 hours. How many bacteria will he find in 8 hours?
At the beginning of a race, a yatch crosses the start line and sails in a westerly direction at a speed of 6 m s -1. The current sea is flowing at 2 m s -1 towards the north-east. calculate how farand in what direction (relative to west) the yatch has travelled after 18 minutes from its crossing the start line.
A dog is located on the north bank of a river that is 2 miles wide. His home is located on thesouth bank of the river, 5 miles to the east of where he is located now. In order to make ithome, he will run on land to a point P located along the north bank of the river, and thenswim across the river to his home. If the dog runs at a speed of 9 mi/hr across land, andswims at 4 mi/hr across the river, where should P be located to minimize the amount of timeit takes for the dog to return home?
