A 300 m wide river flows 2 m/s due east (downstream). Your friend is in the river 150 m north and 100 m west of you (you are on the shoreline). Your friend drifts at the speed of the river, but you can swim at 3 m/s relative to the water. Assuming you start swimming immediately.
At what angle (relative to north) should you swim to reach your friend in the shortest amount of time? b) How far downstream (i.e., east of your original location) are you when you reach your friend?

A river flows due east at 2.69 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant velocity of 12.2 m/s due north relative to the water. What is (a) the magnitude (m/s) and (b) the direction (degrees east of north) of the boat’s velocity relative to shore? (c) If the river is 324 m wide, how far (m) downstream has the boat moved by the time it reaches the north shore?

A 400.0-mm-wide river flows from west to east at 30.0 m/min. Your boat moves at 90 m/min relative to the water no matter which direction you point it. To cross this river, you start from a dock at point A on the south bank. There is a boat landing directly opposite at point B on the north bank, and also one at point C , 75.0 m downstream from B (Figure 1). B)What distance will you have traveled? D)To reach...
