Hurricane lota is considered the strongest hurricane in history to hit Nicaragua. As Iota passed over Nicaragua, the eye of the hurricane moved with a velocity of 235 km/ h in a direction 35.0" south of east. The course of the hurricane then shifts direction, 25.5° north of east with a velocity of 249 km/h. Determine: a) The resultant velocity in unit vector notation, b) The magnitude of the resultant velocity, and c) The direction of the resultant velocity vector.

An aircraft undergoes two displacements. If the first displacement is directed at an angle of 225 with the positive x axis and has magnitude 30.0 miles, and if the resultant displacement is directed at an angle of 75.0 with the positive x axis and magnitude 22.0 miles, what are the magnitude and direction of the second displacement?
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?
