Please show illustrations if possible. Ship A is traveling south at the rate of 2 km/hr, at the instant that ship B, which is 32 miles south of ship A, is traveling east at a rate of 4 km/hr. a) Are they separating or approaching at the end of 2 hrs, and at what rate? b) At what time are they nearest together? c) What is their minimum distance apart?
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.
