A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100 -m wideharbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flowsto the east at 2.0 m/s. The Kayaker can paddle with a speed of3.0m/s.
a. In which direction shoule he paddle in order to travel straightacross the harbor ?
b. How long will it take him to cross ?

Certain bacteria (such as aquaspirillum magnetotacticum) tend to swim toward the earth’s geographic north pole because they contain tiny particles, called magnetosomes, that are sensitive to a magnetic field. if a transmission line carrying 100 a is laid underwater, at what range of distances would the magnetic field from this line be great enough to interfere with the migration of these bacteria? (assume that a field less than 5% of the earth’s field would have little effect on the bacteria. take the earth’s field to be 5.0 * 10-5 t, and ignore the effects of the seawater.)
