Assuming that I tell you that for an object moving at constant speed in a fixed direction, the velocity vector equals the displacement vector divided by the matching time interval in which this displacement was made, then you should be able to handle the following situation: A hurricane moves over an island in the 30° east of north direction at a speed of 60 mph. Three hours later it suddenly veers 20° westward and drops its speed to 40 mph. Using a vector theoretical approach (not pure trigonometry) find the location of the hurricane with respect to the island five hours after is passed over the island.
