Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.

Answer:
If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is 8.48 [km/h] towards southeast
Explanation:
When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:
Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}
Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]
We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.
Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]
For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.
So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).
Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:
