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 traveling 10m/s. what angle should i leave to reach the man.
NEED TO FIND ANGLE \Theta AND TIME
Homework Equations...
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.
