Part A You are a member of a geological team in Central Africa. Your team comes upon a wide river that is flowing east. You must detormine the width of the river and the current speed (the speed of the water relative to the earth). You have a small boat with an outboard motor. By measuring the time it takes to cross a pond where the water isn t flowing, you have calibrated the throttle settings to the speed of the boat in still water. You set the throttle so that the speed of the boat relative to the river is a constant 6.00 m/s. Traveling due north across the river, you reach the opposite bank in 20.1 s. For the return trip, you change the throttle setting so that the speed of the boat relative to the water is 8.40 m/s. You travel due south from one bank to the other and cross the river in 11.2s How wide is the river? Express your answer with the appropriate units. HA d. Value Units Submit Request Answer

Part A
You are a member of a geological team in Central Africa.
Your team comes upon a wide river that is flowing east.
You must determine the width of the river and the current
speed (the speed of the water relative to the earth). You
have a small boat with an outboard motor. By measuring
the time it takes to cross a pond where the water isn t
flowing, you have calibrated the throttle settings to the
speed of the boat in still water. You set the throttle so that
the speed of the boat relative to the tiver is a constant
6.00 m/s. Traveling due north across the rver, you reach
the opposite bank in 20.1s. For the return trip, you
change the theottle setting so that the speed of the boat
relative to the water is 8.40 m/s. You travel due south
from one bank to the other and cross the river in 112s
How wide is the river?
