- The swimmer
The swimmer swims at a constant speed of 0.85 m/s relative to water flow. The current speed in the river is 0.40 m/s, and the river width is 90 m. a) What is the resulting speed of the swimmer for the tree on the riverbank when the swimmer's motion is per - 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. - Ball Velocity Train Relative
We throw a ball in an express car traveling at a constant speed of 24 m/s, whose initial speed relative to the vehicle is 7 m/s. What is the initial velocity of the ball relative to the surface of the ground if we throw it a) in the direction of travel b) - Railway car points
Some points are at rest in a moving railway car concerning the earth's surface. However, some points move in the opposite direction to the direction of the moving car's speed. Which points are they? - Tractor belt speed
The crawler tractor travels at a speed of 5 m/s. How fast are the top and bottom of the tractor belt relative to the road surface? - Paratrooper
After the parachute is opened, the paratrooper drops to the ground at a constant speed of 2 m/s, with the sidewinding at a steady speed of 1.5 m/s. Find: a) the magnitude of its resulting velocity concerning the ground, b) the distance of his land from a - Running Track Overtaking
Two boys train to run on a 400 m closed track. They both run simultaneously from the same starting track in the same direction. Boy A runs at a constant speed of 5 m/s, and Boy B runs at a constant speed of 3 m/s. At what time does Boy A overtake Boy B fo - The position
The displacement function S=t³-2t²-4t-8 gives the position of a body at any time t. Find its acceleration at each instant time when the velocity is zero. - Ping time
Calculate the theoretical ping time between Orlando and Shenzhen, which is 14102 km distant. Ping time measures the round-trip time for small messages sent from the origin to a destination that is echoed back to the source. The name comes from active sona - Cross road
From the junction of two streets perpendicular to each other, two cyclists (each on another street) walked out. One ran at 18 km/h, and the second at 24 km/h. How are they away from a) 6 minutes, b) 15 minutes? - Calculate
Calculate the resulting speed of both vehicles after the accident of a car with a mass of m1 = 1.5 tons traveling at a speed of 100 km/h and a truck with a mass of m2 = 40 tons traveling at a speed of 90 km/h, if it is a head-on acci - Cyclist 9
A cyclist travels at a speed of 4.25 km per hour. At that rate, how far can he travel in 3.75 hours? - Two people
Two straight lines cross at right angles. Two people start simultaneously at the point of intersection. John walks at the rate of 4 kph on one road, and Jenelyn walks at the rate of 8 kph on the other road. How long will it take for them to be 20√5 km apa - Filling a Swimming Pool
How long will the swimming pool be 20 m long, 12 m wide, and 2 m deep? Two inlets are used for filling, each filling nine hectoliters of water per minute. - Book reading
If we read the book at a speed of 15 pages a day, we read it three days before we read it at a speed of 10 pages per day. If I read six pages per day, how many days will I read the book? - Two Cyclists Average Speed
Two cyclists rode from Prague to Poděbrady. Determine the average speed of each of them if you know that they traveled 56 km and that the slower one lost two kilometers to the faster one every hour so that he arrived in Poděbrady 30 minutes later. - Cyclist Meeting Time
At 9 o'clock, the pedestrian climbed at an average speed of 5 km/h, and 3 hours later, a cyclist followed him at 12 km/h. Determine what time they will meet. - Car driver
The car driver is in town A and is scheduled to be in town B at a specified hour. If it travels at an average speed of 50km/h, it will arrive in city B 30 minutes later. But if he travels at an average speed of 70km/h, he would arrive half an hour earlier - Klara
Klara and Jitka went on a hiking trip at 13 o'clock at a speed of 5km/h. At 14 o'clock, Thomas rode on the bike at an average speed of 28 km/h. How many hours and at what distance from the beginning of the road did Thomas catch the two girls? - Speed of car
The car went to a city that was 240 km away. If his speed increased by 8 km/h, it would reach the finish one hour earlier. Determine its original speed.
