If a river current is 8.0 miles per second and a boat is traveling 10.0 miles per second upstream what is the boat's speed relative to the riverbank?
2 miles per second upstream relative to the river bank.
Note: This is quite a scenario, even for experienced rapids-shooters.
That river is flowing at 28,800 miles per hour, and the guy is paddling
his kayak through the water at 36,000 miles per hour. The whole scene
is definitely poised to launch itself into solar orbit.

The current speed is about 4 miles per hour.
How do you set up the equation to find current of a river?
To set up the equation for finding the current of a river, you typically consider the speed of a boat relative to the water and the speed of the boat relative to the ground. Let ( v_b ) be the speed of the boat in still water, ( v_r ) be the speed of the river current, and ( v_g ) be the speed of the boat relative to the ground. The equation can be expressed as ( v_g = v_b + v_r ) when the boat is moving downstream and ( v_g = v_b - v_r ) when moving upstream. By measuring the ground speed in both directions, you can solve for ( v_r ).
What is the rate of the current if Jim's motorboat travels downstream at the rate of 15km per hour and going upstream it travels at 7km per hour?
The current flows at 4 kph.The boat motors at 11 kph.
In still water a boat can travel four times as fast as the current in the river A trip up the river and back which totaled 150 km took 8h Find the speed of the current?
Call the unknown speed of the current c and the speed of the boat in still water b. When travelling upstream, the net speed of the boat will be b - c and when travelling downstream the net speed of the boat will be b + c. Since b = 4c, the speed upstream will be 3c. The distance upstream is one-half the total travelling distance of 150 km or 75 kilometers. Distance travelled = speed X time at speed, so that upstream time = 75/3c, downstream time = 75/5c, and the sum of these is the total time stated to be 8 hours. Thus 75/3c + 75/5c = 8. Multiplying both sides by 15c yields 75(5 +3) = 120c, or c = (8 X 75)/120 = 5 kilometers per hour.

If a river current is 8.0 meters per second and a boat is traveling 10.0 meters per second upstream what is the boat's speed relative to the riverbank?
ans is = 10 - 8 = 2 m/s (upstream)
What would happen to a boat that was moving upstream at the same speed as the current moving downstream?
If the boat is moving upstream at the same speed as the current moving downstream, the boat will appear to be stationary relative to an observer on the shore. This is because the boat's upstream motion is being cancelled out by the downstream motion of the current.
How do you ferry a current?
In order to ferry a current you need to point your boat an an angle across the river and pointing upstream. The stronger the current the more you will have to point upstream. You simply paddle at this angle until you reach the other side. It also can help if you lift your upstream knee slightly so that the water doesn't catch your upstream edge.

What does it mean swimming up stream?
Swimming upstream is to do something the hard way. It is more difficult to swim against the current. Salmon swim upstream in order to spawn.
Why did the ferry boat have to go upstream before crossing the river?
if the boat turns toward the dock without going upstream, it will miss it's mark because the current is pushing the boat downstream.
If a fishing boat travels 15mph in still waters how long will it take it to travel 30 miles upstream with a current of 3?
The boat travels past the water around it at 15 mph.If the water is moving past the riverbank at 3 mph, then the boat is moving past the riverbankat (15 - 3) = 12 mph.At 12 mph, it takes (30/12) = 2-1/2 hours (2hr 30min) to travel 30 miles up the riverbank.Coming back, the boat's speed past the riverbank will be (15+3) = 18 mph.It will take (30/18) = 1-2/3 hours (1hr 40min) to travel 30 miles down the riverbank.
Is a floating leaf said to be in motion with respect to a stream?
No. Assuming there are no eddies or crosscurrents, and it is not blown in a different direction by the wind, a leaf in a stream is being moved by the water, and would display little motion with respect to the water, as compared to its motion with respect to things not in the flowing stream.
Can earth fault current go up passing through the downstream panel and directly cause a trip at the upstream panel which have higher set point of earth fault protection?
If the fault is a direct short to ground, the fault current can be high enough to trip the upstream protection.
A river current has a velocity of 5 kmh relative to the shore. A boat moves in the same direction as the current at 4 kmh relative to the river. How do you calculate the velocity of the boat relative?
The velocity of the boat relative to the shore is the vector sum of its velocity relative to the river and the velocity of the river current. In this case, it would be 4 km/h (boat's speed) + 5 km/h (current's speed), which equals 9 km/h.
