Suddenly, you see a flash of silver: an Agujon needlefish (Tylosurus acus) leaping over your boat. At the top its trajectory, you estimate that it is 5.0m above the surface of the water and travelling at 6.0 m/s. 5 m m v=6- 3 m
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.
Please use the information in the picture to answer the question: How fast must it have leapt from the water to reach a such a great height and speed. If you stand at the bow where you can reach up to a height of 3m above the water. You can only catch a fish if it is traveling under 8.5m/s when it reaches you. Will you be able to catch the fish? Find the speed of the fish at your location. Hint: use energy conservation.
