Question 38 GCE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2023 • PHYSICS • objective

A boat attempts to cross a river that is \(200\,\text{m}\) wide. It points directly across the river and moves through the water at a speed of \(4\,\text{m s}^{-1}\). The river flows downstream at \(3\,\text{m s}^{-1}\). Determine (i) the resultant speed of the boat relative to the ground and (ii) how far downstream the boat lands when it reaches the opposite bank.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Resultant speed = 5 m/s, downstream displacement = 150 m
B. Resultant speed = 4.5 m/s, downstream displacement = 150 m
C. Resultant speed = 7 m/s, downstream displacement = 210 m
D. Resultant speed = 5 m/s, downstream displacement = 100 m
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
Resultant speed = 5 m/s, downstream displacement = 150 m
