A swimmer in a river is chatting with a friend who is on the river bank. If the river current is flowing at 0.112 mph to the east, with what velocity relative to the water would the swimmer need to swim in order to remain in place relative to the person on shore? O 0.224 mph to the west O 0.112 mph to the east O 0.112 mph to the west O 0.112 mph to the north

A ship sailing in the Gulf Stream is heading 25.0° west of north at a speed of 4.00 m/s relative to the water. Its velocity relative to the Earth is 4.80 m/s 5.00° west of north. What is the velocity of the Gulf Stream? (The velocity obtained is typical for the Gulf Stream a few hundred kilometers off the east coast of the United States.)
A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30 north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m south. Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?
A boat can be rowed at 8.0 km/h in still water. (a) How much time is required to row 1.5 km downstream in a river moving 3.0 km/h relative to the shore? (b) How much time is required for the return trip? (c) In what direction must the boat be aimed to row straight across the river? (d) Suppose the river is 0.8 km wide. What is the velocity of the boat with respect to Earth and how much time is required to get to the opposite shore? (e) Suppose, instead, the boat is aimed straight across the river. How much time is required to get across and how far downstream is the boat when it reaches the opposite shore?
(a) In what direction would the ship in Exercise 3.57 have to travel in order to have a velocity straight north relative to the Earth, assuming its speed relative to the water remains 7.00 m/s? (b) What would its speed be relative to the Earth?
An athlete crosses a 25-m-wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 0.5 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance 40 m downstream from his starting point. How fast is the water in the river flowing with respect to the ground? What is the speed of the swimmer with respect to a friend at rest on the ground?
Suppose at one point along the Nile River a ferryboat must travel straight across a 10.3-mile stretch from west to east. At this location, the river flows from south to north with a speed of 2.41 m /s. The ferryboat has a motor that can move the boat forward at a constant speed of 20.0 mph in still water. In what direction should the ferry captain direct the boat so as to travel directly across the river?
An airplane is heading north at an airspeed of 800 kmhr, but there is a wind blowing from the southeast at 800 km/h * r 40 km/h * r . The plane will end up flying 0.935 xdegrees off course The plane's speed relative to the ground will be 810 km/hr
An airplane flies with a velocity of 55.0 m/s [ 35o N of W] with respect to the air (this is known as air speed). If the velocity of the airplane according to an observer on the ground is 40.0 m/s [53o N of W], what was the wind velocity? please do not solve in terms of "i" and "j" .
