Chapter 3, Problem 96GP
The speed of a boat in still water is v. The boat is to make a round trip in a river whose current travels at speed u. Derive a formula for the time needed to make a round trip of total distance D if the boat makes the round trip by moving (a) upstream and back downstream, and (b) directly across the river and back. We must assume u < v; why?

A jet plane is observed 400ft above the ground and is flying 180 mph to the west. A man jumps out of the plane creating a projectile motion and recorded that he is descending at a constant velocity of 6 ft/s after he reached an observable distance from the ground. If the man is to reach the ground 37 seconds after his immediate jump off the plane, determine the range of the initial position of the plane to the target landing of the man in the ground. a) 601.29 ft b) 1111.31 ft c) 28.38 ft d) 1000.12 ft
(a) You are standing on one side of a river and a tree is directly across from you. You then walk adistance d along the river and determine that now the tree is at an angle θ. How wide is the river?A plane travels north at speed v0 for a time t0 and then travels east at 12v0 for a time 3t0. (b) How farto the north did the plane travel? How far to the east? (c) What is the total distance the plane is awayfrom its initial position?
A long jumper leaves the ground at 45 ∘ above the horizontal and lands 9.1 m away. What is her "takeoff" speed v0?Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below. If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45 ∘ with the speed calculated in A, how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?
