Suppose a ship heads directly north away from the docks in a harbor at a speed of 3.40 km/h. After traveling 1.10 km, the ship leaves the harbor encountering an ocean current moving due west at 3.00 km/h. Find the location of the ship (distance from the dock in km and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the east) 1.00 h after it leaves the dock if it does not change its direction relative to the ocean. distance from dock 4 km direction 308.9 x ° counterclockwise from east

An airplane needs to head due north, but there is a wind blowing from the northwest at 40 km/hr. The plane flies at an airspeed of 800 km/hr, To end up due north, the pilot will need to fly the plane north degrees west of
Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. One goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 30 km/h wind is blowing from west to east. At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground? How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 450 km from north to south? (Note: Even on cloudy nights, many birds can navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction.)
