The figure shows a red row boat (the dot) that needs to cross a river. The boat can be rowed with an average constant speed of 6 ft/s in still water. Let W = 40 ft, d = 30 ft, and v = 2 ft/s (the constant river speed). N W / IE h d N B | U. Figure 10.2: CrossRiver.png (a) If the boat begins at A and must make landfall landfall at point B, what angle should the boat be pointed and how long will it take to cross? Solution lies between (19.688, 6.444) and (23.112, 7.5896) (b) If the rower thinks there may be dangerous creatures in the stream that might capsize the boat, she wants to make landfall as quickly as possible and doesn't care where that is. What angle should she point the boat and how long will it take to cross?Solution lies between (-0.12, 6.0003) and (0.1, 7.00035)

QUESTION 6 Supply all missing information with the correct numerical values. Do not include the units. Round off all answers to two decimal places. Do not forget th negative sign (-) if needed. A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Select to Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. Vo = ( 61.50 m/s) i +( 106.52 m/s) ? At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = 61.50 m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = 9.8 m/s?. The time needed to reach maximum height is t = 10,8 S. The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = m.
