Answer:
(a) the time needs for her to cross the river is 2736.8 s.
(b) the distance takes to reach the other side of the river is 2490.5 m.
Explanation:
given information:
woman's speed, v₁ = 1.9 m/s
the wide of river, s = 5.2 km = 5200 m
river's current, v₂ = 0.91 m/s
(a) How much time does it take her to cross the river?
s = v t
s = the displacement (m)
v = speed (m/s)
t = time (s)
s = v t
t = s/v
= 5200/1.9
= 2736.8 s
(b) How far downstream will the river carry her by the time she reaches the other side of the river?
s = v t
= (0.91) (2736.8)
= 2490.5 m
