Question
A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 7.00 m/s
relative to the water. The local ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0° north of
east. What is the velocity of the ship relative to the Earth?

Answer:
Explanation:
North velocity 7.00 + 1.50sin40 = 7.964 m/s
East velocity 1.50cos40 = 1.149 m/s
v = √(7.964² + 1.149²) = 8.05 m/s
θ = arctan(1.149/7.964) = 8.21° E of N
