Question

The velocity of a boat with respect to the shore is 2 meters/second. The velocity of the water with respect to the shore is 1 meter/second. What is the
distance traveled by boat after 3 minutes if the boat is traveling in the opposite direction of the water? (Hint: Find the velocity of the boat relative to
the water and then use the equation distance = speed x time)
A 400.0 meters
B. 180 meters
C. 300.5 meters
D. 100.2 meters
E521.2 meters

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 180 meter

Explanation:

Given,

Velocity of boat with respect to still water=2 mps

Velocity of water with respect to shore= 1 mps

Also the boat is moving in opposite direction to that of water

Hence,

velocity of boat with respect to shore=2-1=2 mps

Given time=3 minutes=180 seconds

Hence

Displacement of boat with respect to shore= velocity*time=180*1=180 meter
