Diver question..im so confused :(
A swimmer is capable of swimming 0.35 m/s in still water.
(a) If she aims her body directly across a 75 m-wide river whose current is 0.40 m/s, how far downstream (from a point opposite her starting point) will she land?
m
(b) How long will it take her to reach the other side?
s
I think I could use D= do+Vit+1/2at^2
and a^2+b^2=c^2
75=3.5(t)+t^2
t=4.629
3.5^2+0.4^2=c^2
c=3.5227
ahh.. I am so confusedddd
