The problem is stated as follows:
A sailboat is traveling east at 4.10 m/s. A sudden gust of wind gives the boat an acceleration a=(0.500 m/s2,40.0° north of east). What is the boat's speed 5.90 s later when the gust subsides?
I've tried breaking it into component vectors, but no luck. Suggestions?
