The velocity of the current in a river has no effect on the the time it takes to paddle a canoe across the river, given that the boat is pointed perpendicular to the bank of the river, because
The velocity of the river does not change the velocity and therefore the distance traveled in the direction of the boat which is directed perpendicular to it
Reason:
Let represent the velocity of the boat across the river in the direction,
, and let,
, represent the velocity of the river, we have;
The velocity of the boat perpendicular to the direction of the river =
Therefore, the distance covered per unit time in the perpendicular direction
to the flow of the river is , such that the time it takes to cross the river in
the perpendicular direction is the same, for every value of the velocity of
the river.
This is so because the velocity in the perpendicular direction to the flow of
the river, which is the velocity of the boat is unchanged by the velocity of
the river, because there is no perpendicular component of velocity in the
velocity of the river.
= 3 m/s
= 4 m/s
The width of the river, = 6 meters, we have;
- The resultant velocity =
The direction, θ, is given as follows;
The length of the path of the boat, <em>l</em>, is given as follows;
The length of the path the boat takes = 10 m
The time it takes to cross the river, t = , therefore;
- The time it takes to cross the river, t = 2 seconds
Considering only the y-components, we have;
Therefore;
Which expresses that the time taken is the same and given that the
vectors of the velocities of the river and the boat are perpendicular, the
distance covered in the direction of the boat is unaffected by the velocity
of the river.

Answer:
10.93m/s with the assumption that the water in the lake is still (the water has a speed of zero)
Explanation:
The velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water surface is equal to the resultant velocity between the fish and the water when it hits it.
The fish drops on the water surface vertically with a vertical velocity v. Nothing was said about the velocity of the water, hence we can safely assume that the velocity if the water in the lake is zero, meaning that it is still. Therefore the relative velocity becomes equal to the velocity v with which the fish strikes the water surface.
We use the first equation of motion for a free-falling body to obtain v as follows;
v = u + gt....................(1)
where g is acceleration due to gravity taken as 9.8m/s/s
It should also be noted that the horizontal and vertical components of the motion are independent of each other, hence we take u = 0 as the fish falls vertically.
To obtain t, we use the second equation of motion as stated;
Given; h = 6.10m.
since u = 0 for the vertical motion; equation (2) can be written as follows;
substituting;
Putting this value of t in equation (1) we obtain the following;
v = 0 + 9.8*1.12
v = 10.93m/s
