You are in a hot-air balloon that, relative to the ground, has a velocity of 4.84 m/s in a direction due east. You see a hawk moving directly away from the balloon in a direction due north. The speed of the hawk relative to you is 2.54 m/s. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the hawk's velocity relative to the ground? Express the directional angle relative to due east.

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
