A physics teacher is on the west side of a lake and wants to swim across and end up at a point directly across from his starting point. He notices that there is a current in the lake and that a leaf floating by him travels 4.2 m [S] in 5.0 s. He is able to swim 1.9 m/s in calm water. a) Using a vector diagram, what direction will he have to swim in order to arrive at a point directly across from his position?

b) Calculate his velocity relative to the shore.

c) If the lake is 1.1 km wide, how long, in seconds, will it take him to cross?

You and a friend (alex) are at a a tree-top adventure park .. . part of the course requires you to climb up a rope. you both climb the same rope in the same amount of time. however, the tension in the rope is greater when alex climbs. who did the most work? alex did - more tension means more force - more force means more work was done you did - less tension means less force - less force means more work was done to find the work done, the force exerted and distance moved are multiplied. a couch is moved twice before you are happy with its placement. the same force was used to move the couch both times. if more work is done the first time it is moved, what do you know about the distance it was moved? when more work was done, the couch was moved less. when more work was done, the couch was moved further. when more work was done, the couch wasn't moved at all. when more work was done, the couch was moved the same distance.
