Calculate upstream rate = d/t.
Calculate downstream rate = d/t.
subtract rates to obtain speed of the river.
A Nile cruise ship takes 21.7 h to go upstream from Luxor to Aswan, a distance of 208 km, and 19.4 h to make the return trip downstream. Assuming the ship's speed relative to the water is the same in both cases, calculate the speed of the current in the Nile.

A motor scooter rounds a curve on the highway at a constant speed of 25.0 m/s. The original direction of the scooter was due east; after rounding the curve the scooter is heading 28 degrees north of east. The radius of curvature of the road at the location of the curve is 160 m.
What is the average acceleration of the scooter as it rounds the curve?
