Solving riverboat problems is all about understanding relative motion! 🌊🚤 The boat moves across the river while the current pushes it sideways, creating drift. The time to cross depends on how fast the boat moves in the forward direction, calculated as width divided by boat speed times cosine of the angle. ⏳ The drift is found using the river’s speed and the boat’s angle—the stronger the current, the more the boat drifts! 🔄 If the boat is angled correctly, it can counteract the river’s flow a
