Answer:
a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.
b) 133.33 m
c) 53.13°
d) 106.67 m
Explanation:
a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.
b) velocity = distance * time
Let the velocity of the swimmer be = 1.5 m/s
The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m
The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,
t = 80/1.5
t = 53.33 s
The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s
Let the velocity of the river be = 2.5 m/s
S = 53.33 * 2.5
S = 133.33 m
c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water
That is ,
d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer,
The vertical displacement is given by,
80 = 1.2 t
t = 80/1.2
t = 66.67 s
the horizontal speed,
The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer,
x = 1.6 * 66.67
x = 106.67 m
