In summer Marek and Lukáš go on trips in a motor boat. On calm water the boat moves at a speed of v0 = 16 km/h. Both boys set out on a voyage along a river, the water in it relative to the bank moves at a speed of v1 = 4.0 km/h. They set off from the boat - Boat water speed The water in the river has a speed of 4.8 km/h relative to the bank. A boat in still water has a speed of 12.6 km/h. a) What is the boat's speed relative to the shore if it is sailing downstream and upstream of the river? b) What path will the boat travel
- Perpendicular direction
A speedboat moves relative to the water at a constant speed of 13 m/s. The speed of the water current in the river is 5 m/s a) At what angle concerning the water current must the boat sail to keep moving perpendicular to the banks of the river? b) At what - Water current speed.
Two cities along the river are 100 km apart. The powerboat downstream runs for 4 hours, upstream for 10 hours. Determines the river's current speed. - The river
The river flows at 4 km/h. A boat can go downstream thrice as fast as upstream. Find the speed of the boat in still water. - Distance of the jetty Three friends are sitting on a jetty which is exactly in the middle of a flowing river. The first friend sets off against the current of the river at a speed of 0.4 m/s, the second friend sets off along the current of the river at a speed of 0.2 m/s, the
- Rowboat River Current Speed A rowboat sailing down a river covers a distance of 120 m downstream in 12 s and upstream in 24 s. Find the magnitude of the ship's velocity relative to the water and the current in the river. Both speeds are constant.
