Question

. a boat can travel in still water. (a) if the boat points directly across a stream whose current is what is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the boat relative to the shore? (b) what will be the position of the boat, relative to its point of origin, after 3.00 s?

Answer 1

a) The velocity of the boat relative to the shore is 3.40 m/s and b) The position of the boat relative to its point of origin after 3s is 10.20m.

Here it is given that the speed of the boat (x) = 2.20m/s

The speed of the stream current (y) = 1.20m/s

a) We have to find the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

The speed of the boat = x + y

                                    = 2.20 + 1.20

                                    = 3.40m/s

b) Now we have to find the position of the boat after 3s

The formula for speed:

Speed = Distance/ Time

distance = speed × time

speed = 3.40m/s

Time = 3s

distance = 3.40 × 3

              = 10.20 m

Therefore we get a) speed as 3.40m/s and b) distance as 10.20m.
