it is a "point", which in not a "vector".

a point lacks both magnitude and direction both of which are required to have a
vector.

ok I give up then. What would the resultant look like if starting and ending
points are both point A?
or, do you suppose Bart is tricking us with some other movement, such as
that caused by the rotation of the planet, etc.?

no it wasn't the point. the point was the question lacked sufficient

to
form an answer.

a dot is not a vector.

moron, you are blotto.

I'll give you a hint my little mensa candidate... it's as constant as it is
obvious.

Now grab your pencil and paper and run along.

nav, are drinking in sympathy with moron?

consider that that seems likely.

consider also, nav, that moron is crashing towards serious medical problems
because of his alcohol use.

Sorry I should have known that your idea of a vector would include metaphor.

speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. rather different breeds of cats.

If speed and bearings are constant..... both points would be identical and
no vector could be established.

Nope.....
The vector would be a the differential error in DR navigating a boxed
compass course.

Of course there is "elevation" due to tidal forces..... Ha Ha Ha

That jaxxies, would be directly related to the coordinates of the
vector.....

Since you require both direction and magnitude for a vector.... stating 0
degrees T would in this case of course include the supplied constant of
magnitude.

This is as hard as locating the Gulf Stream for you isn't it! Next you'll be
asking me to calc chords on a spiral curve.

Do you need slope on that calc due to tide?? Bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaa
