Question

The eye of a hurricane passes over the Grand Bahama Island in the direction of 60° north of west with the speed of 39.0 km/. three hours later the course of the hurricane suddenly shifts due north and its speed slows to 22.0 km/h. How far from the Grand Bahama is the hurricane 4.70H after it passes over the hou how far from the Grand Bahama is the hurricane 4.70 h after it passes over the island? Please explain in detail struggling to figure this one out.

Answer 1

North position at end = (39 sin 60) (3) + (22) (1.7)
West position at end = (39 cos 60) (3)

for distance square those and take square root of sum of squares
