Answer:
speed of current is 5 mile/hr
Explanation:
GIVEN DATA:
speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water
let c is speed of current
15-c is speed of boat at upstream
15+c is speed of boat at downstream
we know that
travel time=distance/speed

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)
300=1.5(225-c^2)
300=337.5-1.5c^2
200=225-c^2
c^2=25
c = 5
so speed of current is 5 mile/hr
Answer:
part (a)
towards north east direction.
part (b) s = 46.60 m
Explanation:
Given,
- velocity of the river due to east =

- velocity of the boat due to the north =

part (a)
River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,
Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are 
Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

Let
be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.
Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.
part (b)
- Width of the shore = w = 300m
total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken
Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river.
Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river
Answer:
your question in not complete.
you need to the high too.
C a meter stick with only centimeters
D a ruler with millimeters and centimeters
D would be to the nearest half milimeter. Take some time to measure with a 2 inch ruler. Would you really need to know the length to half a mil ?
