Answer:
If she stands on the North side of a river flowing to the East at 5 mph,
she must head towards the SouthWest to arrive on the South side of the river directly across from her starting point and we have
x^2 + 5^2 = 10^2 where x is her speed directly across the river
x = (75)^1/2 = 8.66 mph towards the South
sin theta = 5 / 10 = 1/2
She must angle the boat at 30 deg from straight South
During that final period of time,
his acceleration is
(9 m/s - 5 m/s) / (4 sec) = 1 m/s² .
