A ship leaves port at noon at a bearing of 143°. The ship’s average rate of speed over this time is 12 miles per hour.
Describe the location of the ship at 4:30 p.m. by writing a vector in component form. Then explain what these components mean in terms of the scenario.
The component form of the vector representing the ship at 4:30 p.m. is approximately ⟨_____, _____⟩. This means that the ship is about ____ miles to the ____ and about___ miles to the ____ of where the ship left port.
fill in the blank options:
-41.3, -32.5, -3.6, -2.7, 2.7, 3.6, 32.5, 41.3, north, south, east, west
12 m/hr x 4.5 hr = 54 miles
x = 54 cos 143 =...... west
y = 54 sin 143 = ...... north assuming 0o is North ( I think the |41.3| answer choices above should be 43.1)
