Bearings can be given from any direction, not just due north. for bearings, like azimuths, clockwise angles are
represented by positive degrees and counterclockwise angles are represented by negative degrees. a ship is
traveling 30° east of north at 18 kn, then turns 20°, maintaining its speed.
a. draw a picture representing the situation.
b. find vectors v and w representing the first and second bearing.
c. find the sum of v and w. what does v + w represent?
d. if the ship travels for one hour along each bearing, then how far north of its starting position has it traveled?
how far east has it traveled?
