Review. As it passes over Grand Bahama Island, the eye of a hurricane is moving in a direction 60.08 north of west with a speed of 41.0 km/h. (a) What is the unit-vector expression for the velocity of the hurricane

Velocity = -20.45 i + 35.54 j km/h

Explanation:

given data

speed v = 41.0 km/h

direction = 60.08 north of west

solution

first we get here Speed in west direction that is express as

Speed in west direction = v × cos(60.08)     1

Speed in west direction = 41 × cos(60.08)

Speed in west direction = 20.45 km/h

now we get Speed in north direction that is

Speed in north direction = v × sin(60.08)        2

Speed in north direction = 41 × sin(60.08)

Speed in north direction = 35.54 km/h

so Velocity will be here

Velocity = -20.45 i + 35.54 j km/h

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
