Swimmer in a River: RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE MOTION NUMERICAL PROBLEMS

A swimmer is crossing a river that flows at 2 m/s. The swimmer’s speed relative to the water is 4 m/s.

Determine the swimmer’s speed relative to the riverbank (absolute motion) when swimming directly downstream.
Determine the swimmer’s speed relative to the riverbank w…

Drive, Walk, Refuel: Find Displacement, Time & Velocity

You drive a car on a straight road at a constant speed of 70 km/h for a distance of 8.4 km, after which the car runs out of fuel. You then walk a further distance of 2 km for 30 minutes to reach the gas station. a) What is the total displacement from the beginning of yo…
