A person going for a morning jog on the deck of a cruise ship is running toward the bow (front) of the ship at 2,0 m/s while the ship is moving ahead at 8.5 m/ S. A, What is the velocity of the jog9ger relative to the water? Later, the jogger is moving toward the stern (rear) of the ship. B. What is the jogger's velocity relative to the water now?

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.
