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)?

Geese migrate along north and south directions for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases traveling speeds up to about 100 km/h. If one such bird is flying at 100km/h relative to the air but there is a 34.0 km/h wind blowing from the west to east. A.) at what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head so that it will be traveling directly southward relative to the ground? Express answer in degrees b.) how long will it take the bird to cover a ground distance of 500 km from north to south? ( Note: Even on cloudy nights many birds navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction)
While scavenging for acorns before the big winter, Scrat the Squirrel leaves his tree house and skitters along 8.00 m at a heading of 40.0° SoE to collect two acorns. Then, he traipses off 10.0 m West to snag another acorn. Finally, he sees a big prize and hurriedly rushes 12.0 m at 20.0° EoN.
