On the map, let the +x-axis point east and the +y-axis north. An airplane flies at 880 km/h northwestward direction (i.e., midway between north and west). Find the components of its velocity. Enter the x and y components of the velocity separated by a comma. I understand the quadrant, and origin but not how to then figure components of airplane's velocity. Can you simply get me up to the speed?
Miss Addy decides to travel from Ghana to UK on ship. The Captain decides to use one of the old ships which depends more on the wind speed and direction for its movement. The ship has a speed of 90km/h and heads due South from North across a river that runs West and East at a speed of 21km/h. Find the actual speed and direction in the angle of the ship. [NB. Illustrate the above problem on a diagram]

You fly 20.0 km in a straight line in still air a direction 35° south of west. Find the distances in kilometers you would have to fly first in a direction 45° south of west and then in a direction 45° west of north. These are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes — one rotated 45°. ______km 45° south of west ______km 45° west of north
