You are a lifeguard and spot a drowning child 30 meters along the shore and 50 meters from the shore
to the child. You run along the shore for a while and then jump into the water and swim from there
directly to child. You can run at a rate of 3 meters per second and swim at a rate of 1.2 meters per
second. How far along the shore should you run before jumping into the water in order to save the
child? Round your answer to the hundredths decimal places.

The plan is that your friend will swim to Presque Isle starting at a location at Long Point, Ontario which is 24 miles due north of Presque Isle. You will be navigating a boat with a GPS. Your friend can maintain a speed of 1.80 mph in still water. All during the swim you observe that objects drifting in the water are moving at 0.70 mph to the east due to the current. a. What bearing should you maintain? That is what direction should you point the boat to reach Presque Isle? Give your answer relative to a compass direction (i.e., 30° north of west). Hint, you want your net velocity vector to be straight south. b. How long did it take your friend to swim across Lake Erie? c.
