Suppose at one point along the nile river a ferryboat must travel straight across a 1.01-mile stretch from west to east. at this location, the river flows from south to north with a speed of 2.04 m/s. the ferryboat has a motor that can move the boat forward at a constant speed of 15.0 mph in still water. if the captain points the boat directly at the target location on the east bank of the river, how far downstream will she be from the target when she lands on the east bank?
Answers: 3
m
= velocity of boat = 15 mph
= length of the stretch = 1.01 miles
= Time taken to reach the opposite end
h
sec (Since 1 h = 3600 sec)
sec
= speed of river = 2.04 m/s
= distance traveled downstream
m

Two cannon balls weighing 18 kg and 24 kg are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of a 21-m wall. the chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 18-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. neglect the resistance of the air.
