Two ships, a and b, leave port at the same time. ship a travels northwest at 24 knots, and ship b travels at 28 knots in a direction 40 degrees west of south. (1 knot-1 nautical mile per hour) what are the
(a) magnitude and
(b) direction of the velocity of ship a relative to b?
(c) after what time will the ships be 160 nautical miles apart?
(d) what will be the bearing of b (the direction of b's position) relative to a at that time?

a) V=38.51knots

b) 88.5 degrees north of east

or 1.5 degrees east of north.

c) 4.15 hours

d) 88.5 degrees South of west

or 1.5 degrees West of South.

Explanation:

Fisrt of all, we need to find the X and Y components of the velocity of each ship.

for ship A:

$V_{ax} =V*cos(\alpha)\\V_{ax} =-24*cos(45)\\V_{ax} =-17 knots$

$V_{ay} =V*sin(\alpha)\\V_{ay =24*sin(45)\\ V_{ay} =17 knots$

Now for B:

$V_{bx} =V*sin(\alpha)\\V_{bx} =-28*sin(40)\\V_{ax} =-18 knots$

$V_{by} =V*cos(\alpha)\\V_{bx} =-28*cos(40)\\V_{ay} =-21.5 knots$

the relative velocity is given by:

$V_{ab} =V_{a} -V_{b}$

For the X axis:

$V_{abx} =(-17)-(-18)\\V_{abx} =1knot$

For the Y axis:

$V_{abx} =(17)-(-21.5)\\V_{abx} =38.5knot$

And the magnitud is given by:

$V=\sqrt{V_{abx}^2+V_{aby}^2} \\V=\sqrt{1^2+38.5^2} \\V=38.51knots$

We can calulate the angle using :

$\alpha=arctang(\frac{V_{aby}}{V_{abx}})\\\alpha=88.5^o$

that is 88.5 degrees north of east

or 1.5 degrees east of north.

In order to know the time the ships will be 160 nautical miles apart is given by:

$t=\frac{distance}{velocity}\\t=\frac{160}{38.51}=4.15h$

Because the velocity of A relative to B will be the opposite, so will be its direction.

So the angle will be:

88.5 degrees South of west

1.5 degrees West of South.

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
