A person sitting in a train that is moving at 17.63 m/s due east is watching a crow fly over. The crow is flying 7.12 m/s at 5.71 degrees south of east. What is the apparent velocity of the crow relative to the passenger in the train? (Take the +x direction to be east. Calculate angles from the +x axis.) What is the angle from the +x axis?
