What is the greatest velocity that a boat on a river can attain if the boat's motor moves at 10 km per hr and the river's current is 8 km per hr?
Boat WRT land, downstream 10 + 8 = 18 KMH Boat WRT land, upstream 10 - 8 = 2 KMH Boat WRT water 10 KMH
A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 300 km going upstream The return trip takes 2 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?
Velocity = Distance ÷ Time.The speed upstream = 300 ÷ 5 = 60kph.The speed downstream = 300 ÷ 2 = 150 kph.The speed upstream equals boat velocity(Vb) minus current velocity(Vc).The speed downstream equals boat velocity (Vb) pluscurrent velocity (Vc).Vb - Vc = 60Vb + Vc = 150 : Adding the two equations together gives :-2Vb = 210 : Vb = 105, therefore Vc = 45The rate of the boat in still water is 105 kph. The rate of the current is 45 kph.
What is the resultant velocity of a boat if it travels south across a river at 14 km per hr. It encounters a current flowing from east to west at 9 km per hour?
The resultant velocity of a boat is 17 km/hr and the direction of the boat is SW.
A boat goes 16km upstream and 24 km downstream in 6 hours it covers 12km upstream and 36 km downstreamfind speed of the boat and stream?

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)
