Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
If a swimmer can swim at 3 m/s in still water and the current of the river is 1 m/s, what is the swimmer's speed relative to the bank when swimming upstream?
Relative Speed – Understanding how to calculate the speed of an object in a moving medium, taking into account both the object's speed and the speed of the medium (current).
Vector Addition – Applying vector addition principles to determine the resultant speed when two velocities are acting in opposite directions.
