If the powerboat is operating at night, the light that must be shown is: <span>A white masthead light
Since dark colors dominated the surrounding during the night time, a white masthead light will provide the exact contrast for the color in the surrounding, which makes it easily identified from far away.</span>

Two boats leave the same port at the same time, with boat A traveling north at 15 knots (nautical miles per hour) and boat B tra

Answer:

The chance in distance is 25 knots

Explanation:

The distance between the two particles is given by:

$s^2 = (x_A - x_B)^2+(y_A - y_B)^2$ (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:

$s^2 = x_B^2+y_A^2$ (2)

Taking the differential with respect to time:

$\displaystyle{2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt}}$ (3)

where $\displaystyle{\frac{dx_B}{dt}}=v_B$ and $\displaystyle{\frac{dx_A}{dt}}=v_A$ are the respective given velocities of the boats. To find $s$ and $x_B$ we make use of the given position for A, $y_A=30$ , the Pythagoras theorem and the relation between distance and velocity for a movement with constant velocity.
