The boat went _____ down the river as there were no currents. What adverb should be used? The adverb must be 8 words.

Two ports, A and B, on a north-south line ar separated by a river of width D. The river flows east with speed u. A boat crosses the river starting from port A. The speed of the boat relative to the river is v. Assume v=2u Q. Suppose the boat wants to cross the river from A to the other side in the shortest possible time. Then what should be the direction of the velocity of boat relative to river?

A boat can be rowed at 5 m/s on still water. It is used to cross a 200m wide river from the south bank to the north bank. The river current has uniform velocity of 3 m/s due east. (a) In which direction must it be steered to cross the river perpendicular to current ? (b) How long will it take to cross the river in a direction perpendicular to the river flow ? (c) In which direction must the boat be steered to cross the river in minimum time ? How far will it drift ?

A man in a row boat must get from point A to point B on the opposite bank of the river (see figure).The distance BC=a .The width of the river AC=b .At what minimum speed u relative to the still water should the boat travel to reach the point B ?The velocity of flow of the river is v_(0)

A motorboat takes 2 hours to travel a distance of 9 km down the current and it takes 6 hours to travel the same distance against the current. What is the speed of the boat in still water in kmph?
