A woman can row a boat at 6.40 km/h in still water. (a) If she is crossing a river where the current is 3.20 km/h, in what direction must her boat be headed if she wants to reach a point directly opposite her starting point? (b) If the river is 6.40 km wide, how long will she take to cross the river? (c) Suppose that instead of crossing the river she rows 3.20 km down the river and then back to her starting point. How long will she take? (d) How long will she take to row 3.20 km up the river and then back to her starting point? (e) In what direction should she head the boat if she wants to cross in the shortest possible time, and what is that time?
(e) Two boats leave the same port at the same time. One travels at a speed 10 mi/h in the
direction S 12° W and the other travels at a speed of 20 mi/h in a direction S 72⁰ W. How far
apart are the two boats after one hour?

- The Airbus A350 from Manila bound for St. Petersburg cannot travel in a straight route due to weather disturbances and some restrictions in the air space. Instead, it travelled at a velocity of 740 kph due 25° NNE, then it turned towards East at a velocity of 870 kph. After that, at a velocity of 900 kph, it ventured 35° WNW, then it turned 50° South of West maintaining the same velocity of 900 kph.
