- | You are a scientist. | + | ====== Project 1: Part A: Zevo toy boats====== |
- | You have worked on the Voyager 1 project for a number of years. You receive a satellite phone call while on a team building exercise with your fellow scientists that there is an emergency with Voyager 1. You must escape hostile territory while being pursued by an enemy who wants you for your scientific prowess. You come to a river that is fast flowing, and the only safe landing point on the opposite bank is directly across from an abandoned but functional boat. The width of the river is 1.8 km. The boat has a constant speed of 21 knots. However, the boat’s rudder has been damaged and so the boat cannot be redirected once it has started moving. With you, you have a remote controlled boat which travels at a constant speed, but you do not know what that speed is. You also have a stop watch. You must predict the proper direction to point the boat in order to land on the opposite bank at the landing point. | + | {{course_planning: |
- | [[183_notes: | + | You are a group of scientists working for Zevo™ Toy Company a subsidiary of the Carver Media Group. A mysteriously large shipment of discontinued toy boats (which can neither turn nor change speed) has been delivered to Zevo for a classified project. The manuals for the boats have been long lost which is problematic as you have been tasked with determining the speed of these boats as they are going to be shipped out soon as part of the project EverReady. At your disposal, you have a handful of toy boats, a uniformly flowing river of width $W=20\,{\rm m}$ with unknown speed, and your trusty stopwatch. |
+ | While you are at the river, you are approached by an anonymous environmentalist group who have asked you if you can figure out the speed of the river for them. You are environmentally conscious and decide to help the group out. | ||
