QUESTION 13. Examine the ship's log below. Using the bearing, speeds, and time data provided, you will plot a course to the location of a sunken ship, the USS Vaqueros. Follow the steps below. 4pm. Departed shore at Pt. Fermin. Speed 10km/hr, bearing 195° 6pm. Changed bearing to 255° and increased speed to 20km/hr 7pm. Decreased speed to 10km/hr and changed bearing to 280° 7:30pm. Mayday! Mayday! Ship is sinking... a) How far did you travel from 4pm to 6pm? Give the answer in kilometers first and then convert that answer in nautical miles. Give your bearing in cardinal direction. (1km = 0.54 nm)
b) How far did you travel from 6 to 7pm? Give the answer in kilometers first and then convert that answer in nautical miles. (1km = 0.54 nm) c) How far did you travel from 7pm to 7:30pm? Give the answer in kilometers first and then convert that answer in nautical miles. (1km = 0.54 nm) d) Now that you have your distances, use your bearings to plot your course to the location of the sunken USS Vaqueros. Once you have located your location, mark it on the map and take a screenshot of the result to submit with your lab.
QUESTION 14. Estimate the latitude and longitude of the sunken ship. QUESTION 15. What is the water depth at the site? Water depth is indicated in fathoms (1 fathom = 6 feet) with little black numbers on the PDF marine chart. Estimate 13 Ocean Lab 116 Lab 2 the water depth in fathoms by using the numbers closest to your location. Convert your answer into feet.
QUESTION 16. Estimate the most direct geographic bearing from the USS Vaqueros departure point to its final resting place. QUESTION 17. If you sail on your above geographic bearing at a constant 20km/hr, how long does it take (in hours and minutes) to get to the site? Show you work below. (1nm = 1.85km)
QUESTION 13. Examine the ship's log below. Using the bearing, speeds, and time data provided, you will plot a course to
