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 plane wishes to fly to an airport located 540 km [N30°W]. There is a wind blowing at 45 km/h from the west. If the plane wishes to arrive in 1.5 hr, what airspeed and heading must it have? Include a labelled diagram.
A jetliner with an airspeed of 1000 km/h sets out on a 1500 km flight due south. To maintain a southward direction, however, the plane must be pointed 15° west of south. If the flight takes 110 min , what is the wind velocity? Answer should be in terms of Vwindx , Vwindy in km/h.

A jetliner with an airspeed of 1000 km/hr sets out on a 1500 km flight due south. To maintain a southward direction, however, the plane must be pointed fifteen degrees west of south. If the flight takes 100 min, what is the wind velocity?
A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?
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?
