🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative motion between your vessel and vessel A • Using a relative velocity triangle (or law of cosines) to find closing speed • Time to intercept using ( \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Closing Speed}} )

💭 Think About

• Sketch both courses from a common origin: one line at 133°T (vessel A) and your line pointing toward the bearing 042°T to the target. What is the angle between your track and vessel A’s track? • Given vessel A is already 105 miles away, moving at 6 knots, and you are moving at 10 knots on the intercept course, how can you combine these speeds as vectors to get a single closing speed? • Once you find the closing speed between you and vessel A, how do you convert the resulting time in hours into hours and minutes to compare with the answer choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the angle between the two courses (not just between the bearing and one course) before using any cosine or sine relations. • Make sure you use relative speed (resultant of both vessels’ velocities), not just your 10 knots or the speed difference (10 − 6). • After finding time in decimal hours, carefully convert the decimal part to minutes: multiply the fraction of an hour by 60 and compare with the choices.
