Answer:
d = 142.5 m
Explanation:
This is a vector exercise. Let's calculate how much the boat travels in the 40s
d₀ = t
d₀ = 0.75 40
d₀ = 30 m
Let's write the kinematic equations
Boat
x = d₀ + t
x = 0 + t
At the meeting point the coordinate is the same for both
d₀ + t =
t
t ( -
) = d₀
t = d₀ / ( -
)
The two go in the same direction therefore the speeds have the same sign
t = 30 / (0.95-0.775)
t = 150 s
The distance traveled by man is
d = t
d = 0.95 150
d = 142.5 m
