Keep a green lateral marker to your left, or port, side when proceeding in the upstream.
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.
When heading upstream green buoys should be on the left/port side of the boat . The opposite is true when traveling downstream.
2.2 Type your answer here...
if the boat turns toward the dock without going upstream, it will miss it's mark because the current is pushing the boat downstream.
ans is = 10 - 8 = 2 m/s (upstream)
f a river current is 8.0 m/s, and a boat is traveling 10.0 m/s upstream, what is the boat's speed relative to the riverbank?
theres none
they probably went by boat rowing very hard
The boat that travelled faster and more easily upstream was the steamboat, like the S.S. Moyie (refer to Heritage Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada).
7/12 kmph
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.
Boat WRT land, downstream 10 + 8 = 18 KMH Boat WRT land, upstream 10 - 8 = 2 KMH Boat WRT water 10 KMH
