Question

velocity

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 7.15 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current is 1.54 m/s in a direction 39.5 north of east. 

a) In what direction (in degrees west of north) would the ship have to travel in order to have a velocity straight north relative to the Earth, assuming its speed relative to the water remains 7.15m/s?

B) What would its speed (in m/s) be relative to the Earth?
