the scenario is the first diagram. what i was thinking was diagram two. make the swimmer 0m/s. The only acting force for him is along the adjacent side, so the adjacent velocity will have to be 10cos\Theta minus the 3m/s of the swimmer. s = ut + 1/2at^2 Adjacent side...

Ive made no attempt because i have no clue what do do. the formulas i have are the basic v=u +at v(2) = u(2) + 2as s=ut + 1/2at(2) Im lost because i don't know time, the angle or the distance because of the swimming guy moving. Tried to find the velcoity of cos (downstream) by making the...

I was given this question as a study question but no solution provided. I am unsure how to solve the question. Homework Statement A man is swimming 3m/s down a river. The man is 50m from the edge and 1000m from the top of the river. If I am in a boat at the top corner of the river...
