Both boat operators are responsible for avoiding a collision. The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea stipulate procedures for determining the give-way vessel and the stand-on vessel based on the vessels' positions and actions. Both operators must take action to avoid a potential collision.
They are each responsible, though NOT equally. If I am anchored properly & you collide with me, it's YOUR fault. If I am anchored properly & you lose power and are drifting into me, I am responsible to get out of your way or at least try to fend off safely. Your questyone does not indicate the specific condition of "Operating in the same general area".
In general, if you hit a stationary object while driving, you are likely to be at fault. As the driver, you are responsible for maintaining control of your vehicle and avoiding collisions with stationary objects. However, there may be exceptions in cases where external factors, such as a sudden medical emergency or a mechanical failure, contributed to the accident.
In general, they will not. Remember that momentum must be conserved, and momentum is the product of mass x velocity. If the cars happen to have the same mass, as well as the same speed, then their combined momentum will indeed be zero. But if one of the cars has a larger mass, their total momentum before the collision will NOT be zero, so the combined cars (after the crash) will continue moving for a while, until slowed down by friction.
The most general expression of the law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant before and after any interaction or collision among its internal components, as long as no external forces are applied. This means that the total momentum is conserved and does not change over time.
Yes, gravity is considered a fundamental force in the field of physics. It is responsible for the attraction between objects with mass and is described by the theory of general relativity.

Both! While one might have the right of passage, avoiding a collision is ALWAYS EVERYBODYS responsibility. No Skipper is ever allowed to ram another boat If he can avoid it.

When two vessels are operating in the same general area both vessels are responsible for maintaining a sharp look out.

The legal operating speed for a vessel between sunset and sunrise is typically governed by local regulations or the rules of the waterway. In general, vessels are often required to operate at a safe speed that allows them to stop or take necessary action to avoid a collision. It's important to follow the specific regulations of the area where you are operating the vessel.
