A boat heads directly across a river. Its speed relative to the water is 3 m/s. It takes it 539 seconds to cross, but it ends up 662 m downstream. How fast is the boat going relative to the bank of the river?
I dont know what i am doing wrong???

3.24 m/s

Explanation:

Suppose that the boat sails with velocity (relative to water) direction being perpendicular to water stream. Had there been no water flow, it would have ended up 0m downstream

Therefore, the river speed is the one that push the boat 662 m downstream within 539 seconds. We can use this to calculate its magnitude

So the boat velocity vector relative to the bank is the sum of of the boat velocity vector relative to the water and the water velocity vector relative to the bank. Since these 2 component vectors are perpendicular to each other, the magnitude of the total vector can be calculated using Pythagorean formula:

m/s

1.195000

explanation:

total mass=0.0117+0.0137+0.0881+0.0111

total mass= 0.01172kg

total velocity = 0.283-0.743+0.871-0.799+0.155+0.637+0.301=0.102

momentum=mv=0.1172*0.102=1.195000//

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
