Most probably physical, even though the change of liquids to solids is directly related to chemistry too

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

Mrrafil [7]

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.

$\displaystyle{y_A = v_A\cdot t\rightarrow t = \frac{y_A}{v_A}=\frac{30}{15}=2 h$

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

$\displaystyle{x_B = v_B\cdot t= 20 \cdot 2 = 40\ nmi$

and applying Pythagoras:

$\displaystyle{s = \sqrt{x_B^2+y_A^2}=\sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50}$

Now substituting all the values in (3) and solving for $\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} }$ we get:

$\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{1}{2s}(2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt})}\\\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = 25 \ knots}$
