Suppose you are rowing across a river, Your speed is 2 miles per hour relative to the current, which is moving at a leisurely 1 mile per hour. If the river is 10 m wide, (a) How far downstream do you end up? (b) To row straight across you would need to have an upstream velocity component (relative to the current). How large would that be? (c) If your rowing speed is still only 2 miles per hour, how long does it take you to row across the river now?
