3) If there werent any current in the river, the motorboat, pointing straight across the river would go from point A to point B in 30 minutes. But there is a current in the river: the water moves 8 km/hour, and the boat gets carried with it. If the motor straight across the river, it will land downstream of B, at point C. boat still points 8km/hr

    Suppose at one point along the Nile River a ferryboat must travel straight across a 1.08-mile stretch from west to east. At this location, the river flows from south to north with a speed of 2.85 m/s. The ferryboat has a motor that can move the boat forward at a constant speed of 26.0 mph in still water. If the captain points the boat directly at the target location on the east bank of the river, how far downstream will...

    Q17 A river is 0.76 km wide. The banks are straight and parallel. The current is 4.0 km/h and is parallel to the banks. A boat has a maximum speed of 4km/h in still water. The pilot of the boat wishes to go on a straight line from A to B, where the line AB is perpendicular to the banks. The pilot should a) head directly across the river b) head 53° upstream from the line AB c) head 37°...

    A boat traveling at 12.50 m/s relative to the water aims to go straight across a river. If the river is 109.0 m wide and the current in the river is 3.50 m/s, how far downstream will the boat land on the other side of the river? Calculate the answer in meters (m) and rounded to three significant figures.

    A boat, with a maximum speed of 8.10 km/hr in still water, is attempting to cross a river. Assume that the water flow is uniform, at a rate 4.11 km/hr and that the boat's direction leads it to land directly across from its starting point. A.)How much time will the trip require if the river is 0.830 km wide, B.) Use a vector diagram to figure out the velocity perpendicular to the shore. Use Distance = speed * time to...

    The velocity of the current in a river is C = 0.6i + 0.8j km/hr. A boat moves relative to the water with velocity v=7i km/hr. a. What is the speed of the boat relative to the riverbed? b. What angle does the velocity of the boat relative to the riverbed make with the vector v? c. What does the angle from part b tell us in practical terms?
