A river flows from south to north at 5.4 km/hr. on the west bank of this river, a boat launches and travels perpendicular to the

current with a velocity of 7.6 km/hr due east. if the river is 1.4 km wide at this point, how far downstream does the boat land on the east bank of the river relative to the point it started at on the west bank?

The motion of the boat is basically a uniform motion on both directions, north-south (NS) and east-west (EW), with two constant velocities: v_{SN}=5.4~km/h and v_{EW}=7.6~km/h. 
From the law of motion on the EW direction we can find the total time of the motion:
S_{EW}(t) = v_{EW} t
since we know S_{EW}=1.4~km, we find
t= \frac{S_{EW}}{v_{EW}} =0.18~h
and then, we can find how far the boat went on the NS direction during this time:
S_{NS}=v_{NS} t =5.4~km/h \cdot 0.18~h = 1~km

Please help me quickly!!!

Hey! So referring to the data the thing we can clearly see is that in a vacuum, everything, regardless of its mass, falls at the same speed.

Acceleration is often confused with speed, or velocity, but the difference is, acceleration by definition is the rate of which an object falls with respect to its mass and time.

Every single thing in the world falls at the same acceleration, this is because of gravity. The difference is the speed of which it falls. In space, there is not any gravity, and so, the objects are able to fall at the same speed regardless of their mass.

Describe how substance move from one state to another
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The temperature rises until the water reaches the next change of state — boiling. As the particles move faster and faster, they begin to break the attractive forces between each otherand move freely as steam — a gas. The process by which a substance moves from the liquid state to the gaseousstate is called boiling.
