Suppose a ship heads directly north away from the docks in a harbor at a speed of 3.40 km/h. After traveling 1.10 km, the ship leaves the harbor encountering an ocean current moving due west at 3.00 km/h. Find the location of the ship (distance from the dock in km and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the east) 1.00 h after it leaves the dock if it does not change its direction relative to the ocean. distance from dock 4 km direction 308.9 x ° counterclockwise from east

The operator of a boat wishes to cross a 5-km wide river that is flowing to the east at 10 m/s. He wants to reach the exact point on the opposite shore 15 min after starting. With what speed and in what direction should the boat travel?
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
