A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, intending to head due north at 7.5 m/s relative to the water. However, the local ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0º north of east and changes the ship's intended motion. In what direction would the ship have to travel in order to have a resulant velocity straight north relative to the earth, assuming the speed relative to the water reamins 7.5 m/s? Specicify the angle west of north, relative to earth? And what would the ship's speed be relative to the Earth, in meters per second
A Polynesian boater leaving Vanunu wishes to make landfall on an island 210Km directly south. She can paddle at 5.4 Km/Hr (relative to the water) but there is a gentle ocean current flowing 37 degrees east of due south. She compensates for that by pointing her craft at 7.8 degrees west from due south. A) How fast is the current flowing? B) How long (hours) does her journey take?

The Gulf Stream is the name of a warm-water current in the Atlantic Ocean. A ship in the Gulf Stream moves with a velocity of 3.0 m/s 40° north of east, relative to the water. The water moves with a velocity of 7.0 m/s, 50° south of east, relative to the ocean floor.

Measure angles counter-clockwise from east as shown by the red arrow to the right of the figure. N S 3.1 Graphically show the relevant input vectors. N E 3.2 Graphically show how to get the ship's velocity relative to the floor of the ocean.

The Airbus A350 from Manila bound for St. Petersburg cannot travel in a straight route due to weather disturbances and some restrictions in the air space. Instead, it travelled at a velocity of 740 kph due 25° NNE, then it turned towards East at a velocity of 870 kph. After that, at a velocity of 900 kph, it ventured 35° WNW, then it turned 50° South of West maintaining the same velocity of 900 kph. Finally, to reach its destination, it needs to turn towards west at a velocity of 350 kph. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the airplane’s velocity during its flight.
