A Coast Guard cutter detects an unidentified ship at a distance of 19.0 km in the direction 15.0° east of north. The ship is traveling at 22.0 km/h on a course at 40.0° east of north. The Coast Guard wishes to send a speedboat to intercept and investigate the vessel. (a) If the speedboat travels at 44.0 km/h, in what direction should it head? Express the direction as a compass bearing with respect to due north. (b) Find the time required for the cutter to intercept the ship.

A fishing boat leaves port on a bearing of 33° and travels 12.7 mi. The boat then turns due east and travels 2.4mi. How far is the fishing boat from port, and what is the bearing from port? Option 1: 14.2mi; 8.2° Option 2: 14.2mi; 41.2° Option 3: 11.6mi; 41.2° Option 4: 10.8mi; 8.2°
A hiking girl needs to go 24.8 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 11.904 km at a 6.1° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 15.5° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 19.592 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)
You go on a hike with some friends. First, you travel 1.7 miles in a direction due west. Then, you spend some time checking Twitter and not paying attention to where you're walking.
