A dolphin wants to swim directly back to its home bay, which is 0.800 km due west. It can swim at a speed of 5.00 m/s relative to the water, but a uniform water current flows with speed 2.83 m/s in the southeast direction. What direction should the dolphin head? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates south of west and negative indicates north of west.

Can you help me with this problem? A bald eagle flies 5.75 m/s north relative to the air. There is a wind that is blowing east to west at 3.25 m/s. What is the magnitude and direction angle relative to the ground of the bald eagle velocity? Assume the y axis is north/south and the x axis east and west
A plane is flying 32 degrees Northeast with a velocity of 175 m/s. The wind is blowing at 9 m/s with an angle of 10 degrees Southwest. Find the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane due to the wind, and the angle of its resultant direction.
A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 12 m/s. A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 16 m/s relative to the air, in what direction should they head in order to move directly south?
