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. - Downstream 81577
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 - Steamship
Between the two ports on the river is going steamship. The journey there and back takes 8:42. Downstream steamship traveling at 20 km/h, upstream 9 km/h. What is the distance between the ports? - Relative motion
The boat moves along the river at a speed of v1 = 5km/h and upstream v2 = 2km/h What is the current P's and boat L's speed relative to the water? - A boat
A boat covers 20 km in an hour downstream and covers the same distance in 2 hours upstream. Then, find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream. - A boat 4 A boat travels 25 km upstream in 5 hours and 25 km downstream in 2.5 hours. If the boat increased its speed by 3 km/h, it would take 1 hour less to travel the downstream distance. Find the speed of the stream.
