### Navigation and Bearings: Practice Question#### Question 8A ship sails out from the port at S-50°-E. It sails for 5 miles and then makes a right turn for 8 miles. At this point, what is the bearing from the port to the ship?**Answer Choices:**- A. 18°- B. 72°- C. 172°- D. 188°For educational purposes, let's break down how to solve this problem:1. **Initial Direction (S-50°-E):** The ship starts by heading 50° south of due east.2. **First Leg:** The ship travels 5 miles in this direction.3. **Right Turn:** A right turn would make the new direction perpendicular to the previous course. 4. **Second Leg:** The ship then sails 8 miles in the new direction.To find the final bearing from the port to the ship, students would typically create a diagram and apply trigonometric concepts.**Explanation:** (In the absence of diagrams, use verbal and numerical logic)- After sailing 5 miles at S-50°-E, and making a right turn (90°), the ship would be traveling in a direction which is E-40°-S (since 50° + 90° = 140° from the starting point)- Final bearing calculations would require more complex trigonometric scaling.Feel free to use instruments or detailed trigonometrical calculations to nail down the exact bearing. The best approach here would be drawing it on a chart for visualization.

Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.
