David is buying a jet boat this summer and spending a lot of time zooming around. One place he plans on going is to the Plate River above Albany, NY. The current is 4 m/s south and the river is 200m wide. the boat will move at 20 m/s at full throttle, his only setting. A. how quickly will he cross the river if he heads straight across? B. how far downstream will he end up if he does so? C. if he wants to go straight across, what angle upstream should he use?

1) A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota—a distance of 180 mi. Because he is flying into a head wind, the trip takes him 2 h. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1 h 15 min. What is his speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing? a. what is the speed (mph) in still air? b. wind speed (mph)? 2)A boat on a river travels downstream between two points, 60 mi apart, in 1 h. The return trip against the current takes 2 1/2 hours. a. What is the boat's speed (in still water)? b. How fast does the current river flow?
