2. Where will it land relative to ?
Can someone please help I can't figure out these last 2 parts at all?

The boat moves 3 meter per second at right angle to the flow of the water.From point A to B on the shore.Hence it would have to travel a distance of 20 meters at 90 degree angle.
the time it would take would be = T=20/3 seconds
within that time it moves down stream a distance of 20/3 x 1 meters
The total distance that the boat has moved is equal to 20/3 + 20 meters
