Question 1006Navigation General70% to pass
You are enroute to assist vessel A. Vessel A is underway at 5.5 knots on course 033°T, and bears 284°T, 43 miles from you. What is the time to intercept if you make 16 knots?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2h 32m.
To calculate the time to intercept, we need to use the formula: Time = Distance / Speed.
In this case, the distance between you and Vessel A is 43 miles, and your speed is 16 knots. Therefore, the time to intercept is 43 miles / 16 knots = 2.6875 hours, which is approximately 2 hours and 32 minutes.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the time required to cover the 43-mile distance at a speed of 16 knots.
