(A) A large panel van has a velocity of 30 m/s at 20° S of E in still-air. A gust of wind of 20 m/s due East relative to the Earth strikes the van. What is the resultant velocity of the van relative to the Earth, during the gust?
A plane travels N 30o W at an air speed of 600 kph. If the wind has a speed of 80 kph on a direction of N 40o E. What is the ground speed of the plane and the angle that the plane shifted from the original course?
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

In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?
