A boat capable of making 6.0 km/h in still water is used to cross a river flowing at speed of 4.0 km/h. The boat is directed (from the perpendicular to the shore) in such a way that its resulting motion is straight across the river. At what angle (in o) must the boat be directed? What is the resultant speed relative to the shore?

A catapult on a cliff launches a large round rock towards a ship on the ocean below. The rock leaves the catapult from a height H = 34.0 m above sea level, directed at an angle above the horizontal with an unknown speed v0. The projectile remains in flight for 6.00 seconds and travels a horizontal distance D = 181 m. A) Assuming that air friction can be neglected, calculate the value of the angle (in degrees). B) Calculate the...

Tina can grow a boat at 2.60 mi/h in still water. She needs to cross a river that is 1.20 mi wide with a current flowing at 1.90 mi/h. Not having her calculator she guesses that to go straight across she should head upstream at an angle of 25.0° from the direction straight across the river. What is her speed with respect to the starting point on the bank?
