A spy in a speed boat is being chased down a river by government officials in a faster craft. Just as the officials’ boat pulls up next to the spy’s boat, both boats reach the edge of a 5.1 m waterfall. The spy’s speed is 14 m/s and the officials’ speed is 28 m/s. How far apart will the two vessels be when they land below the waterfall? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 .
Answer in units of m.

A boat can travel at a speed of 4 m/s in still water. A river that is 170 m wide has a current that flows 0.85 m/s due West. a) If the boat points its bow directly across the river, how fast does the boat travel relative to the shore? m/s b) How long will it take to cross the river? s c) How far downriver will it land (the distance on the bank from the point directly across from...

8. A boat is heading due north as it crosses a wide river with a speed of 10.0 km/h relative to the water. The river has a current such that the water moves with a uniform speed 5.00 km/h due east. Determine the magnitude and direction of the boat's velocity with respect to an observer on the riverbank (5 points) A plane maintains a speed of 630 km/h relative to the air it is flying through, as it makes a...
