1. directly across the river.
2. head \(53^{\circ}\) upstream from the line \(AB\).
3. head \(37^{\circ}\) upstream from the line \(AB\).
4. the trip from \(A\) to \(B\) is not possible with this speed.

Two particles \(A\) and \(B,\) move with constant velocities \(\vec{v_1}\) and \(\vec{v_2}.\) At the initial moment their position vector are \(\vec {r_1}\) and \(\vec {r_2}\) respectively. The conditions for particles \(A\) and \(B\) for their collision to happen will be:

1. \(\vec{r_{1  }} . \vec{v_{1}}   = \vec{r_{2  }} . \vec{v_{2}}\) 2. \(\vec{r_{1}} \times\vec{v_{1}}   = \vec{r_{2}} \times \vec {v_{2}}\)
