How to find the speed and direction of a boat with current using vectors

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the actual bearing and speed of a ship affected by a current. It introduces the concept of vectors, focusing on magnitude and direction, and demonstrates how to represent a ship's movement as a vector. The tutorial covers the impact of a current flowing southwest on the ship's speed and direction, and how to calculate the resultant vector using the tail-to-head method. It also explains how to simplify vectors, store values for calculations, and find the speed and angle of the resultant vector, concluding with an angle adjustment to ensure accuracy.
