Explanation / Answer

the speed of the hurricane when it is moving north of west v =41.0 km/h at an angle = 60.0o the horizontal component of speed is vx= v *sin the speed of the hurricane 4.50 h after it passes over theisland d = (v1/t1) = (vx -v/t1) vx= v * sin v = (41.0 - 25.0) km/h = 16.0 km/h t1= 4.50 h the horizontal component of speed is vx= v *sin the speed of the hurricane 4.50 h after it passes over theisland d = (v1/t1) = (vx -v/t1) vx= v * sin v = (41.0 - 25.0) km/h = 16.0 km/h t1= 4.50 h
