Question
A man points his rowboat north, straight across a river of width 114.3 m. The river flows due east. The man starts across, rowing steadily at 0.90 m/s @ north and reaches the other side of the river at a point 207 m downstream from his starting point. What is the speed of the river?

- One of the tasks of the Mighty Hercules was to protect the town of Nemea from a lion. One day Hercules sees the lion 320 feet away. He strings his bow and lets an arrow fly. The arrow leaves his bow travelling at 210 feet per second from a height of 6 feet. He wants to hit the lion in the neck above the shoulders which is 4 feet off of the ground. determine the launch angle that will hit the Lion. Find the right angle.arrow_forwardBefore jumping from the bridge, Martin throws his water bottle to a friend standing on the bank of the lake. The bridge is 7.0 m high.

What is the magnitude of his displacement?arrow_forwardA sailor is enjoying a nice day on his sailboat, sailing west with the wind at constant velocity. At one point the sailor spots an anchored buoy some distance to the east of the boat, and turns on his motor to head towards it. The boat kept gliding to the west for some distance before turning around and heading eastward. The boat was traveling initially with velocity v = -6.0i m/s and it took the the boat 2.0 s to turn around. What is the velocity of the boat, 5.0 s after the motor is turned on? The coordinate system is set up such that the +i direction is East.
