Two canoeists in identical canoes exert the same effort paddling and hence maintain the same speed relative to the water. One pa

ddles directly upstream (and moves upstream), whereas the other paddles directly downstream. With downstream as the positive direction, an observer on shore determines the velocities of the two canoes to be −1.9 m/s and +2.8 m/s, respectively. What is the speed of each canoe relative to the water?

Answer:

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Explanation:

v_r = Speed of river

v_c = Speed of canoe

v_r+v_c=2.8\ m/s

v_r-v_c=-1.9\ m/s

Adding the equations we get

2v_r=0.9\\\Rightarrow v_r=\frac{0.9}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.45\ m/s

0.42+v_c=2.8\ m/s\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.8-0.45\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.65\ m/s

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s
