The velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.
<h3>Relative velocity</h3>
- Relative velocity is the velocity of a body as observed from the reference point of another body either stationary or in motion.
Since the river is flowing parallel to the shore and the ferry is moving perpendicular to the shore, their velocities are at right angles to each other.
The two velocities form a right angled-triangle of sides 2, 4 and a hypotenuse which gives the relative velocity of the ferry to the current.
Using Pythagoras rule:
- Let c be the hypotenuse
- a = velocity of the ferry, and
- b = the velocity of the current, and
c² = 4² + 2²
c² = 16 + 4
c = 20
c = √20
c = 4.47 m/s
c ≈ 4.5 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.

In my opinion, calling exercise "work" wouldn't be a good way of describing it, I don't think people would exercise if its called work

Light intensity and distance is
interrelated. When the distance changes, the intensity of light changes. This relationship
is called inverse-square relationship. The inverse-square relationship refers
to the fact that when distance changes, light intensity also changes: inverse
because when distance decreases, light density increases and when distance
increases, the latter decreases; square refers to the fact that light intensity
and distance is not a one-to-one relationship.
