4. Swims across Lake Erie are officially sanctioned by the Lake Erie Open Water Swimming Association. Your friend on the swim team wants to swim across the lake. The plan is that your friend will swim to Presque Isle starting at a location at Long Point, Ontario which is 24 miles due north of Presque Isle. You will be navigating a boat with a GPS. Your friend can maintain a speed of 1.80 mph in still water. All during the swim you observe that objects drifting in the water are moving at 0.70 mph to the east due to the current. a. What bearing should you maintain? That is what direction should you point the boat to reach Presque Isle? Give your answer relative to a compass direction (i.e., 30° north of west). Hint, you want your net velocity vector to be straight south. b. How long did it take your friend to swim across Lake Erie? c. What is the addition amount of time that your friend will need to swim compared to if there was no current (assume your friend swims at a constant rate)?
A person stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a rock horizontally over the edge with a speed of v = 23.0 m/s. The rock leaves his hand at a height of h = 43.0 m above level ground at the bottom of the cliff, as shown in the figure. Note the coordinate system in the figure, where the origin is at the bottom of the cliff, directly below where the rock leaves the hand. 4 7 i (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the rock?

A canoe moves in a swamp with a calm current at an average speed 12 m/s and covered a distance of 1.8 km. When the canoe moves on a river that has a current velocity of 3 m/s in the opposite direction to the boat's motion, write the relationship of the time (t) it takes the canoe to move in the swamp and in the river.
