Question: A boat can be rowed at 4 . 9 0 m s ( 1 1 . 0 m p h ) in still water. a

A boat can be rowed at 4.90ms(11.0mph) in still water.
a) What is the velocity of the boat relative to the shore if it is moving downstream in a river moving 2.90ms(6.49mph) relative to the shore? Use the hat(i) as the direction of flow of the river downstream. vec(v)BS=q,ms
b) How much time is required to row 1,200m(0.746mi) downstream?
t=B
c) How much time is required for the return trip?
t=s
d) Suppose the river is 450hat(j)m(0.280hat(j)mi) wide and the boat was aimed to row straight across the river along the hat(j) direction. That is a person on the shore would see the boat is moving straight along the hat(j) direction. What is the the velocity of the boat with respect to the shore?
vec(v)BS=,hat(j)ms
e) How much time is required to get to the opposite shore then?
t=s
f) At what angle relative to the direction of flow of the river should the boat be aimed?
=
A boat can be rowed at 4 . 9 0 m s ( 1 1 . 0 m p
