A Canada goose flew 1.45 km [15.0 ̊ S of W] to feed, then it flew 1.64 km [70.0 ̊ S ofE] to its roosting location. Determine the goose’s displacement, using thegraphical/tip-to-tail method of vector addition. Answer to two significant digits.
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

A sailboat in Lake Huron is pushed by the wind along a bearing of 100° at 25 km/h. A slight current isalso affecting the boat at 5 km/h along a bearing of 310°. Determine the resultant velocity of thesailboat.
The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 74 mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current of speed vc = 13 mi/hr but does not change its heading (relative to the water). Determine the subsequent velocity of the boat relative to the wind and express your result as a magnitude Vrel and compass direction e measured clockwise from north. The current affects the motion of the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed vw= 19 mi/hr does not. 30 Answers: Vrel = i mi/hr A =
