A boat crossing a wide river moves with a speed of 13.0 km/h relative to the water. The water in the river has a steady speed of 6.00 km/h due north relative to the earth.
a) If the boat heads due west, determine the speed of the boat relative to an observer standing on the shore.

b) What is the angle made between the velocity of the boat relative to the observer and the west direction.

A river flows due east at 1.50 m/s. A boat crosses the river fromthe south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constantvelocity of 8.0 m/s due north relative to the water.
(a) What is the velocity of the boat relative to shore?
1 m/s
2° (north of east)

(b) If the river is 220 m wide, how far downstream has the boatmoved by the time it reaches the north shore?
3 m

A 270-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 4.4 m/s. Aboat with a speed of 8.2 m/s relative to the water leaves the southbank pointed in a direction 30o west of north. What is the (a)magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity relative to theground? Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from duenorth, positive if to the east and negative if to the west. (c) Howlong does it take for the boat to cross the river?

A certain boat is going to cross a river where the water flows from North to South. The boat is moving due East at 9.62 km/h with respect to the water. The water is flowing towards the South at 3.57 km/h with respect to the ground. If the river is 291 m wide where the boat is crossing the river, then what will be the magnitude of the displacement of the boat (in m) during this trip?
