If a hippo is on the back of a crocodile and the croc it swimming downstream at 4.5 m/s at an angle of 23 8 to the shore in a river which is flowing due north and after a while the croc gets really tired (cause, well like hippos are heavy you know) and remembers that the hippo can swim and doesn't really need a ride across the river and says to the hippo 'Hey, get off me you lazy lug! You can swim' So the hippo laughing at the croc because he thought it was really funny that the croc forgot that hippos can swim jumps into the river at 3.2 m/s at an angle of 51 degrees east of North. What is the hippos velocity relative to the river bank? What is more dangerous to jump into a river with happy, frolicking hippos or to jump into a river with big, teethy, hungry crocodiles?
