Question

A man swims perpendicular w.r.t. river flow with a constant acceleration (in y direction) and river is flowing with a constant velocity in the x-direction. The trajectory of man seems from ground will be

Answer 1

Considering the flow of river, a man cannot cross the river in completely perpendicular form.

Since the flow of the water can not be negligible, and this would probably force the man to swim the river diagonally.

That means, a man attempting to cross the river perpendicularly would finally cross it diagonally.

Answer 2

Answer:

A straight line along y Axis
