The bireme was an ancient ship used by the Phoenicians and other peoples associated with the Ancient Mediterranean world. The velocity of a particular bireme is the resultant of 3 velocities: The velocity created by the movement of its oars in still water, which is 4 km/h N 30° E. The velocity created by the wind hitting the sail in still water at 9 km/h N 17° W. The ship is also experiencing a 2 km/h current flowing due East. What is the resultant velocity of the ship (including direction)?

You are participating in a canoe race in a lake. Suppose you can row your canoe at a constant speed if 5.0 km/hr relative to the water. In the race, you need to row your canoe from a buoy (A) to another buoy (B), which is located 10.0 km directly north form buoy A. Both buoys are anchored to the bottom of the lake, so they don't move with the currents in the lake. On the day of the race, the water is flowing in a direction 20.0 degrees south of west, at speed 2.0 km/hr relative to the buoys. a) in what direction do you need to aim your canoe in order to travel in a straight line from buoy A to buoy B? b) How king does it take for you to complete the race.
