A 290-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 1.3m/s. A boat with a speed of 8.9m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank pointed in a direction 34o west of north. What is the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity relative to the ground? Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from due north, positive if to the east and negative if to the west. (c) How long does it take for the boat to cross the river?

A ferryboat, whose speed in still water is 4.00 m/s, must cross a river whose current is 3.00 m/s. The river runs from West to East and the boat is pointed North. a) If the boat does not compensate for the flow of the river water, and allows itself to be pushed off course, what would be the new velocity of the boat? In answering this question, draw a vector diagram with the appropriate labels for the vectors, and state...

A 379-kg boat is sailing 11.0° north of east at a speed of 1.80 m/s. 35.0 s later, it is sailing 38.0° north of east at a speed of 4.30 m/s. During this time, three forces act on the boat: a 32.1-N force directed 11.0° north of east (due to an auxiliary engine), a 21.8-N force directed 11.0° south of west (resistance due to the water), and (due to the wind). Find the (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of...
