So the velocity of the boat has to be greater than the velocity of the current when rowing back. I made a force diagram with vectors. I always have problems with problems that don't give numbers... so would v<V?billy_joule said:
When a boat travels downstream, it is moving in the same direction as the current of the water, which helps to increase its speed. However, when traveling upstream, the boat is moving against the current, which slows it down.
The speed of a boat traveling downstream is affected by the speed of the current, the power of the boat's engine, and the direction and strength of the wind. When traveling upstream, the speed is affected by the strength of the current, the power of the boat's engine, and any obstacles in the water.
When a boat travels upstream, it is moving against the current, which requires more power from the engine. This increased power consumption leads to a higher fuel consumption compared to traveling downstream, where the boat is aided by the current and requires less power.
The distance traveled by a boat traveling downstream will be greater compared to traveling upstream, as the boat is aided by the current and moves faster. When traveling upstream, the boat moves slower and may also have to navigate obstacles, resulting in a shorter distance traveled.
The time it takes a boat to travel a certain distance will be shorter when traveling downstream compared to upstream. This is because the boat is moving faster with the current when traveling downstream, while it moves slower against the current when traveling upstream.
