A boat is moving at a speed of 50 km/h with a heading of due north with respect to the water. The boat is traveling through a current of 7 km/h [W3O°S]. If you can throw a ball with a maximum speed of 60 kph at what angle must you throw said ball in order to hit a stationary target due east?
Heading A ship headed due west is moving through the water at a constant 12 miles per hour. However, the true course of the ship is in the direction N 78° W. If the current of the water is running due north at a constant rate of speed, find the speed of the current.
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 boat is traveling upstream at 5 km/h due north relative to the shore. If the water’s current is 7 km/h due south, what is the boat’s velocity relative to the water?
