Question 1 of 2066636ee928f7522a1c519084

At 0800 you reduce speed from sea speed. Speed was reduced by the time you passed abeam of Hog Island Lighted Bell Buoy "12" at 0814. At this time Buoy "12" was abeam on your starboard side at a distance of 0.65 mile. Assuming you continue to make good your course of 202°T, what is your new speed if you pass abeam of Cape Charles Lighted Bell Buoy "14" at a distance of 1.5 miles at 0907?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Use Speed = Distance / Time to find the new speed between Buoy "12" and Buoy "14" • Carefully convert the time from 0814 to 0907 into hours and minutes, then into decimal hours • Use the chart distance between the abeam positions of Buoy "12" and Buoy "14", not from the buoys themselves

💭 Think About

• What is the exact elapsed time between passing abeam of Buoy "12" and passing abeam of Buoy "14"? Express it in hours to at least two decimal places. • On your chart, what is the distance run along course 202°T between the line abeam of Buoy "12" (0.65 mile off) and the line abeam of Buoy "14" (1.5 miles off)? • Once you have distance and time, which of the multiple-choice speeds is closest to your computed value when you apply Speed = Distance / Time?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are measuring along the 202°T track line, not straight between the buoys. • Double-check your time conversion from minutes to decimal hours before dividing. • Confirm you are using the abeam-to-abeam distance between the two points at the given offing, not the distance from the ship to each buoy.
