A boat traveling moving at 21.00 m/s North is a river. The current in the river is moving west to east at 4.390 m/s. What is the relative velocity of the boat as it travels in the river? Select one: a. 16.61 m/s at 45.00 degrees b. 21.00 m/s at 90.00 degrees c. 21.45 m/s at 78.19 degrees d. 25.39 m/s at 34.00 degrees
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
