8. [In this question \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are horizontal unit vectors directed due east and due north respectively and position vectors are given relative to a fixed origin.]
At 7 am a ship leaves a port and moves with constant velocity. The position vector of the port is \(( - 2 \mathbf { i } + 9 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { km }\).
At 7.36 am the ship is at the point with position vector \(( 4 \mathbf { i } + 6 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { km }\).
- Show that the velocity of the ship is \(( 10 \mathbf { i } - 5 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { km } \mathrm { h } ^ { - 1 }\)
- Find the position vector of the ship \(t\) hours after leaving port.
At 8.48 am a passenger on the ship notices that a lighthouse is due east of the ship. At 9 am the same passenger notices that the lighthouse is now north east of the ship.
- Find the position vector of the lighthouse.
- Find the position vector of the ship when it is due south of the lighthouse.
