1. A river has a steady current of 0.50 m/s [E]. A person can swim at 1.2 m/s in still water. The person swims upstream 1.0 km and then back to the starting point. K/U TAI A (a) How long does the trip take? (b) Will the time change if he swims downstream 1.0 km and then back instead? Explain your reasoning. (c) How much time is required to complete the same trip in still water? Why does the trip take longer when there is a current?
