A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 40 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. (Assume that both components of the initial velocity are positive and that positive angles are above the horizontal.) (a) Calculate the magnitude and direction of its velocity 2.0 s after launch in m/s and degrees from horizontal. (b) Calculate the magnitude and direction of its velocity 5.0 s after launch in m/s and degrees from horizontal.

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.
