You want to swim straight across a river that is 76 m wide. You find that you can do this if you swim at an angle of  = 28 from the upstream direction at a constant rate of 1.5 m/s relative to the water.
 
  At what rate does the river flow? The angle  is measured from the river bank (directly upstream is  = 0 while directly across the river is  = 90). A) 1.3 m/s
  B) 0.70 m/s
  C) 1.6 m/s
  D) 1.8 m/s

Question 2

A small boat is moving at a velocity of 3.35 m/s when it is accelerated by a river current perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. If the acceleration of the current is 0.750 m/s2, what will be the new velocity of the boat after 33.5 s?
 
  A) 25.3 m/s at 82.4 from initial direction of motion
  B) 25.3 m/s at 7.59 from initial direction of motion
  C) 640.1 m/s at 82.4 from initial direction of motion
  D) 640.1 m/s at 7.59 from initial direction of motion

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
