Activity 2- VECTOR RESULTANT BY GRAPHICAL METHOD North Canada America Europe Portugal United Spain start! States Africa Atlantic Ocean 1 square = 100 km² Part 1. A galleon can sail 10 squares/month. The sail starts from Spain and travels westward. Draw one vector for each month of travel using a red ink pen from Spain until it reaches land. How long will it take the galleon to reach land? In which country will the galleon make landfall? What is the displacement of the galleon? North Canada America Europe Pprtuga Spain start! United States Africa Atlantic Ocean Part 2. Now, consider the effect of the wind during the sail of the galleon. First, draw your galleon vector, just like in Part 1, using red ballpen. At the end of that vector, add the wind vector using blue ballpen. Then draw the resultant vector of the two with a blue ballpen. That is where the galleon is when the first month ends. Now do the same procedure for the next month and the preceeding months until you reach land. Take note that the wind changes, so each month you will have to add a different wind vector. The list of different winds for each month is as follows: Month 1: 2 squares south Month 2: 4 diagonals southeast

The list of different winds for each month is as follows: Month 1: 2 squares south Month 2: 4 diagonals southeast
Month 3: 2 squares west Month 4: No wind How many months will it take to reach landfall? In what country will the galleon make a landfall now? What is the displacement of the galleon? North N NE Canada America Europe Portugal Spain Start! United States Africa Atlantic Ocean Part 3. The current of the Atlantic Ocean also affects the sail of the galleon. Each month, you must add a current correction vector to find the actual position of the galleon. Just like in Part 2, for every month, draw the galleon vector (in red), and wind vector (in blue) and now add the ocean vector (in black). Now using black ballpen, draw the resultant vector of the three. Do this for each month until the galleon reach land. Be reminded that the wind and ocean vectors will be different for each month as listed below. Wind Vectors: Month 1: 2 squares south Month 2: 4 diagonal squares southeast Month 3: 2 squares west Month 4: No wind Ocean Vectors: Month 1: 2 suares south Month 2: 4 squares west Month 3: 3 diagonal squares southwest How long will the galleon reach land? Where will the galleon hit land? What is now the total displacement of the galleon?
