2. Next, Austyn heads off to the White-Water Canyon Ride. The speed of the water current is as indicated in the diagram. Austyn can steer the raft at a constant speed of 3 km/h. When at a narrow path of 8 m wide his raft gets to the far-left side of the stream, as indicated on the diagram. (round all answers to one decimal place) 8m Albiste Watera b) VAustyn = 3 (still water) km h Austyn B Vcurrent = 0.5 km h a) If Austyn steers the raft in a direction perpendicular to the current, what would be the rafts' resultant velocity? Draw a diagram to illustrate your solution. Suppose that Austyn had wished to aim his raft, right across the path. Determine the direction he must head to, so that he can get to the point B (right across the stream).
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.
