Huck Finn walks at a speed of 0.70 m/s across his raft (that is, he walks perpendicular to the raft’s motion relative to the shore). The raft is traveling down the Mississippi River at a speed of 1.50 m/s relative to the river bank (Fig. 3–42). What is Huck’s velocity (speed and direction) relative to the river bank?

A river flows due south with a speed of 2.30 m/s . A man steers a motorboat across the river; his velocity relative to the water is 4.10 m/s . The river is 850 m wide. Part A In which direction should the motorboat head in order to reach a point on the opposite bank directly east from the starting point? (The boat's speed relative to the water remains 4.10 m/s .) Part B What is the velocity of the...

An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.7 m/s. A child on a bridge, 72 m above the river, sees the raft in the river below and attempts to drop a small stone onto the raft. The child releases the stone from rest. In order for the stone to hit the raft, what must be the horizontal distance between the raft and the bridge when the child releases the stone?
