Two sailboats are approaching a harbor. The velocity of the slooprelative to the schooner is 2.80 m/s in a direction 40.0° east ofnorth. If the sloop has a velocity that is 0.730 m/s due northrelative to the harbor, what is the velocity (magnitude anddirection) of the schooner relative to the harbor?

The velocity of the wind relative to the water is crucial to sailboats. Suppose a sailboat is in an ocean current that has a velocity of 2.20 m/s in a direction east of north relative to the Earth. It encounters a wind that has a velocity of 4.50 m/s in a direction of south of west relative to the Earth. What is the velocity of the wind relative to the water?

A 270-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 4.4 m/s. Aboat with a speed of 8.2 m/s relative to the water leaves the southbank pointed in a direction 30o west of north. What is the (a)magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity relative to theground? Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from duenorth, positive if to the east and negative if to the west. (c) Howlong does it take for the boat to cross the river?

A small boatis headed for a harbor 30 km directly northwest of its currentposition whenit is suddenly engulfed in heavy fog. The captainmaintains acompass bearing of northwest and a speed of 9.4 km/hrelative to the water. The fog lifts 3.0 hlater and the captainnotes that he is now exactly 4.2 km south of the harbor.
(a) What was the average speed of thecurrentduring those 3.0 h?
km/h

(b) In what direction should the boat have been heading to reachitsdestination along a straight course?
° west of north

(c) What would its travel time have been if it had followedastraight course?
