Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

it can be said that the speed of the east wind is
v=0.3608m/s
From the question we are told
A small boat sailed <u>straight </u>north out of a harbor in <em>strong </em>east wind (blowing from west to east).
After sailing for 120 minutes, it ended up hitting a buoy 60^\circ60 ∘ to the north-east of the harbor. If the straight-line distance between the buoy and the harbor is 3 km,
- what is the speed of the east wind?.
<h3> the speed of the east wind</h3>
Generally the equation for the distance is mathematically given as
BA=3000sin60
BA=2598.07m
Therefore
the speed of the east wind
v=0.3608
