A float is overcome by a motor boat going downstream at a point A. Thours later it turns back and after some time it passes the float at a distance d km from point A. What is the velocity of stream if the speed of motor remains constant w.r.t. water?

Two boats, A and B, move away from a buoy anchored at the middle of a river along the mutually perpendicular straight lines: the boat A along the rive, and the boat B across the river. Having moved off an equal distance from the buoy the boats returned. Find the ratio of times of motion of boats tau_A//tau_B if the velocity of each boat with respect to water is eta=1.2 times greater than the stream velocity.

A motor-boat of mass m moves along a lake with velocity v_(0) . At the moment t = 0 the engine of the boat is shut down. Assuming the resistance of the particle to-be proportional to the velocity of the boat F = - rv, find: (a) How long the motor boat moved with the shut down engine, (b) (b) The velocity of the motor boat as a function of the distance covered with the shutdown engine, as well as total distance covered till the complete stop. (c ) The mean velocity of the motor boat over the time interval (beginning with the moment t=0), during which its velocity decreases eta times.
