A boat crossing a river travels north with a velocity of 10.0 kph relative to the water. The riverwater is flowing eastward at a constant 5.00 kph. Procopio is at rest while waiting for the boat on the other side of the river. What is the direction of the boat's motion relative to Procopio? O 26.6° north of east O 63.4° west of north O 63.4° north of west O 26.6° east of north
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.
