The components of the ship''s displacement vector

Reference no: EM1322244

Q1. A ship sets out to sail to a point 141km due north. An unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 138 km due east of its starting point. (a) How far (in km) and (b) in what direction (as an angle from due east, where north of east is a positive angle) should it now sail to reach its original destination?

Q2. An ocean liner leaves New York City and travels 31° north of east for 183 km. How far east and how far north has it gone? In other words, what are the magnitudes of the components of the ship's displacement vector in following directions?
