Relative Velocity: You Want to Swim Straight Across a River

Question 15

Multiple Choice

Relative velocity: You want to swim straight across a river that is Relative velocity: You want to swim straight across a river that is wide. You find that you can do this if you swim at an angle of θ = 28° from the upstream direction at a constant rate of relative to the water. At what rate does the river flow? The angle θ is measured from the river bank (directly upstream is while directly across the river is A) 1.3 m/s B) 0.70 m/s C) 1.6 m/s D) 1.8 m/s wide. You find that you can do this if you swim at an angle of θ = 28° from the upstream direction at a constant rate of Relative velocity: You want to swim straight across a river that is wide. You find that you can do this if you swim at an angle of θ = 28° from the upstream direction at a constant rate of relative to the water. At what rate does the river flow?
