A ship leaves port at 1 pm traveling north at the speed of 30 miles/hour .at 3 pm the ship adjusts its course20° eastward. Sketch a diagram to show the path the ship moved and the distance the ship is from the port. And how far the ship is from the port at 4pm?

The ship is 88.8 miles far from the port at 4 pm.

Given,

The displacement from 1 to 3 in the afternoon.

D1 = 30 miles/hr × 2 hr

     = 60 miles to the north

The displacement from 3 till 4 in the afternoon.The ship changes its course 20 degrees eastward at 3 o'clock.

Therefore, D2 = 30 miles/hr × 1 hr

                       = 30 miles to the 20° north eastward

By combining two vectors, the resulting displacement:

D = √((D1 ₊ D2 × cos(20°))² ₊ (D2 × sin(20°))²

D = √((60 ₊ 30 × cos (20°))² ₊ (30 × sin(20°))²

D = 88.8 miles

Hence the ship is 88.8 miles far away from the port at 4 pm.
