A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30 north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m south. Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?

A boat that travels 6 mph in still water leaves the marina in Miami to travel to an island called Elliott Key due south of the marina. The prevailing current is directed northeast (N45^*E) at 0.8 mph. At what bearing should the captain of the boat steer the ship?
2. A sailboat in Lake Huron is pushed by the wind along a bearing of 130° at 30 km/h. A slight current isalso affecting the boat at 6 km/h along a bearing of 210°. Determine the resultant velocity of thesailboat using the parallelogram law, cosine law, and the final bearing using sine law.
A boat is traveling where there is a current of 0.20 m/sm/s east. To avoid some offshore rocks, the boat must clear a buoy that is NNE (22.5)∘ and 2.3 km away. The boat's speed through still water is 2.5 m/s. If the boat wants to pass the buoy 0.16 kmkm on its right, at what angle relative north should the boat head?
A pilot is heading her plane at an airspeed of 350 km/h Northwest while a wind is blowing from the East at 60 km/h. Determine the magnitude and direction the plane is flying.
A dinosaur wishes to fly due south but there is a 15.0 km/h wind coming from the west. If the dinosaur can fly at 8.00 m/s how should she angle herself to fly due south?
A jet airliner, moving initially at 300mi/h to the east, suddenly enters a region where the wind is blowing at 100mi/h toward the direction 30.0 north of east. What are the new speed and direction of the aircraft relative to the ground?
An airplane flies north relative to the ground in a 40 km / h wind to the east. If the speed of the airplane relative to the ground is 80 km / h, what is its speed relative to the air?
ADCaircraft leaves an airport from a runway whose bearing is N48 . After flying for 1/4 mile, the pilot requests permission to turn 90 degrees and head toward the southeast. The permission is granted. After the airplane goos 1 mile in this direction, what bearing should the control tower use to locate the aircraft ?
A hot air balloon is drifting east at 53 km h-1 . Due to a cross wind, its resultant velocity is 42 km h-1 in a 25° direction. What is the speed and direction of the cross wind?
An automobile driver travelling northeast at 34.6km/h notices that the wind appears to be coming from the northwest. When he drives at least at 40km/h the wind appears to be coming from 50 degrees south of west. Find the velocity of the wind relative to the ground.
