A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.40 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.40 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 1.85-km-wide river. However, the current is 1.17 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream. (a) How long does it take the swimmer to cross the river? (b) How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

A member of a swim team is training by swimming in a river. The river is flowing uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 70.0 m apart. The swimmer can only swim at a constant speed of 1.40 m/s. (a) The member of a swim team first chooses to minimize the amount of time spent in the water. Find the direction (in degrees), relative to the flow of the river, in which the swimmer must head to accomplish this. ० from the direction of the stream (b) How far (in m) downstream will the swimmer be carried? m (c) The member of a swim team returns to the original starting point, and next decides to minimize the distance he is carried downstream. Find the new direction (in degrees), relative to the flow of the river, in which the swimmer must head to accomplish this. ० from the direction of the stream (d) Now how far (in m) downstream will the swimmer be carried? m
