Super Urgent Plz HELP! A swimmer has a swimming speed of 5.35 m/s in still water. When she heads directly across the river, she ends up travelling downstream at an angle of 30° (with respect to a line perpendicular to the shore). (a) What is the speed of the current? (b) What heading would the boat need to have in order to reach a point directly across the river? (c) If the stream is 15 m wide, how long would a trip directly across the river take?

(a)3.09 m/sec (b)θ= 35.28° (c) t =3.43 sec

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The swimming speed of swimmer =5.35 m/s

The downstream angle = 30°

Now,

(a)we find speed of the current which is given below:

V = V swimmer + V river

Tan 30° = Vr/Vs

Thus

Vr = 5.35 * tan 30°

Vr = 5.35 * 0.5773

= 3.09 m/sec

(b)She would have velocity at direction such that she reaches across the shore

Then

Vs sin θ =Vr

sin θ = Vs/Vr

sin θ = 3.09/5.35

θ= 35.28°

Therefore, She had to make θ= 35.28° on another side of the river

(c) Thus

t = d/Vs cosθ

=15/5.35 * cos (35.28°)

t =3.43 sec

where’s the list ? the question is incomplete

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
