Jane took 10 minutes to drive her boat upstream to water-ski at her favorite spot. Coming back later in the day at the same boat speed took her 5 minutes. If the current in that part of the river is 7k(m)/(h)r, what was her boat speed in still water
In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 m freestyle competition, a problem with the pool was found. In lane 1 there was a gentle 1.2 cm/s current flowing in the direction that the swimmers were going, while in lane 8 there was a current of the same speed but directed opposite to the swimmers’ direction. Suppose a swimmer could swim the 50 m in 25.0 s in the absence of any current. How would the time it took the swimmer to swim 50.0 mm change in lane 1?
A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100 m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the east at 2.0 m/s. The kayaker can paddle with a speed of 3.0 m/s. Express your answer in degrees measured north of east.
