A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.80 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.80 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 1.70-km-wide river. However, the current is 1.18 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream. (a) How long does it take the swimmer to cross the river? (b) How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river?

Bill and Jill both average swimming speeds of 3.0 m/s, in a pool (that has no current). Bill and Jill go down to the river for a swim, the river has a current of 1.0 m/s straight EAST and is 1.50 x 102 m in width. They are standing on the SOUTH shore. a.Bill, not thinking about the current, jumps in and swims straight across to the North shore. Of course the current affects his resultant velocity and he doesn’t...
