I think it’s false. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and then mass of the object.
Answer:
The chance in distance is 25 knots
Explanation:
The distance between the two particles is given by:
(1)
Since A is traveling north and B is traveling east we can say that their displacement vector are perpendicular and therefore (1) transformed as:
(2)
Taking the differential with respect to time:
(3)
where
and
are the respective given velocities of the boats. To find
and
we make use of the given position for A,
, the Pythagoras theorem and the relation between distance and velocity for a movement with constant velocity.

with this time, we know can now calculate the distance at which B is:

and applying Pythagoras:

Now substituting all the values in (3) and solving for
we get:
