A swan is flying at a speed of 17.5 m/s. There is a wind blowing from the East at 12.5 m/s. If the swan wishes to travel due South, what would be the magnitude and direction of its velocity relative to the ground. If the swan travels due South as in part b, what will be its displacement after 8.5 hours?
