Joe D. Curious is exploring a river with a strong current. He paddles upstream by day taking measurements and readings of water quality going 4 miles a day. He drops an anchor at night, but the current is so strong it still pushes his boat 3 miles downstream each night. His destination is the dam, which is 10 miles upstream from his starting point. If he starts his journey on June 1, when will he reach the dam? It does not take ten days

The "seiche" or shallow pool of Lake Ontario sloshes back and forth across the length of the lake in about 6 hours, changing the local height of the surface by a few centimeters up and down. Ontario is about 86 meters in average depth and is 311 km long. Lake Erie to its west also has a seiche pattern, but lake Erie is shallower with an average depth of 19 meters, and slightly longer at 388 km. About what would you expect the period of the oscillation of water level in Lake Erie to be, and based on what physics? 16 hours because the Erie is longer and shallower 27 hours because Lake Erie is shallower about 8 hours because Lake Erie is longer the same, about 6 hours because it depends on the water properties and not the geometry
It takes 4 hours for a boater to travel 15 miles upstream and back. If the speed of the boat in still water is 8 mph, what is the speed of the current? Sally can clean the house in 8 hours, her father can clean the house in 6 hours, and her younger brother, Dennis, can completely mess up the house in 10 hours. If Sally and her father clean and Dennis plays, how long will it take to clean the house?

As an astute observer walking around on continental crust (granite), you might decide to test the hypothesis that the Earth is made entirely of granite. You weigh a 1.00 cubic ft piece of granite on your home scale and find that it weighs 171 lbs. Thus, you determine that the granite has a density of 171 lb/ft. Convert your granite's density to g/cm.
