A swimmer with a still water velocity of 8.00km/hr heads South across a stream that flows directly East with a velocity of 4.00km/hr. a) What will be the resultant velocity of the swimmer if he does not fight the current ? b) If the stream is 500.m wide, how long will it take the swimmer to reach the opposite side if he does not fight the current ? c) How far downstream will the swimmer be carried if he does not fight the current ?

c) How far downstream will the swimmer be carried if he does not fight the current ?
d) What must be the swimmers heading if he is to keep a path directly South across the stream ?
e) How long will it take the swimmer to cross the stream if he keeps his heading ?
