    If none of the ships are moving, the elapsed time for ship B will be the same Δt = 10s

    Explanation:

    If no ship is moving then the elapsed time between missiles for both ships will be the same.

    On the other hand, if one of them (or both) were moving, then the relative motion of the ships would make Δt seem smaller if the ships were getting closer, or greater if they were distancing from each other.
