A boat has broken down and is being towed by two other boats into a port (as per picture shown). W FR ILL F₁ 150 200 TLL tio The first boat is pulling at a speed (F₁) of 4m/s relative to the water. The second boat is pulling at a speed (F₂) of 3m/s relative to the water and the broken boat is travelling (FR) in a Westerly direction relative to the shore. The broken boat also has a friction force (Ft) of 1m/s in an Easterly direction. Calculate the speed of the broken boat relative to the water. Enter your solution with one decimal place only. m/s
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.
