Awoman can row a boat at 7.80 km/h in still water. (a) if she is crossing a river where the current is 3.90 km/h, in what direction must her boat be headed if she wants to reach a point directly opposite her starting point? express your answer as an angle with respect to the line perpendicular to the river, positive if down the river. (b) if the river is 7.80 km wide, how long will she take to cross the river? (c) suppose that instead of crossing the river she rows 3.90 km down the river and then back to her starting point. how long will she take? (d) how long will she take to row 3.90 km up the river and then back to her starting point? (e) in what direction should she head the boat if she wants to cross in the shortest possible time, and (f) what is that time?

Aleaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 15 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.7 kg/m. initially the bucket contains 45 kg of water, but the water leaks at a constant rate and finishes draining just as the bucket reaches the 15-m level. find the work done. (use 9.8 m/s2 for g.) show how to approximate the required work by a riemann sum. (let x be the height in meters above the ground. enter xi* as xi.) lim n → ∞ n (9.8)(45−3 xi) i = 1 δx express the work as an integral. 0 dx evaluate the integral. (round your answer to the nearest integer.) j

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
