A swimmer is capable of swimming 0.43 m/s in still water. If she aims her body directly across a 69- m -wide river whose current is 0.34 m/s. 1. how far downstream (from a point opposite her starting point) will she land? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. 2. How long will it take her to reach the other side? Express your answer in two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Sheena can row a boat at 3.20 mi/h in still water. She needs to cross a river that is 1.20 mi wide with a current flowing at 1.80 mi/h. Not having her calculator ready, she guesses that to go straight across, she should head upstream at an angle of 25.0° from the direction straight across the river. a.)How far upstream or downstream from her starting point will she reach the opposite bank? If upstream, enter a positive value and if downstream, enter a negative value. b.)In order to go straight across, what angle upstream should she have headed?
A boat is able to move at 9.8 m/s in still water. If the boat is placed on the south shore of a river (water current of 3.4 m/s [SE]), and the captain wants to head straight across to the north shore: a. In what direction should the captain point the boat? b. Calculate the time it will take to cross (the river is 135.0 m from the south to the north shore).
You wish to row straight across a 63 m wide river. You can row at a steady 1.3 m per seconds relative to the water, and the river flows at 0.57 meter per seconds. a) what direction should you head? B) how long will it take you to cross the river?
Calvin is standing on the roof of a 6.50 m tall house. His tiger Hobbes is on the ground, some distance away from the house. Calvin is throwing water balloons at Hobbes: Calvin is throwing the water balloons with speed VO at an angle of 0 below the horizontal. On his first try, Calvin hits Hobbes with the water balloon! Hobbes is 3.02 m horizontally from the base of the building and it takes 1.04 s for the balloon to hit him. Coordinate system: positive x points to the right and positive y points up.
Sheena can row a boat at 3.20 mi/h in still water. She needs to cross a river that is 1.20 mi wide with a current flowing at 1.80 mi/h.

1A. You're feeding the fish at the pond by the baseball field and decide to do some physics calculations. You notice that you release the fish food 1.65 m above the surface of the water, and during one throw, when the food left your hand at 3.20 m/s with a direction of 13.0° below the horizon, you managed to hit a fish near the surface. How fast was the food going right before it hits the fish? 1B.Two kittens are running toward each other, one is named Chloe and the other is named Luna. Luna runs at a speed of 1.40 m/s. If Chloe jumps at an angle of 37.0° with speed 2.70 m/s, at what distance from Luna should Chloe jump to make sure she lands on Luna?
