 Constant velocity problems
A yacht club is situation at .
At 12:00pm (noon) a yacht is at . The yacht is
moving with constant speed in the straight path shown
in the diagram. The grid intervals are kilometres.
At 1:00pm the yacht is at .
At 2:00pm the yacht is at .
In this case:
▪ the initial position of the yacht is given by the position vector
▪ the direction of the yacht is given by the velocity vector

 ▪ Initial position – position vector:
▪ Direction – velocity vector:

Suppose that hours after leaving , the yacht is at

:

for
is the vector equation of the yacht’s path.
