hips A and B leave port together. For the next 2 hours, ship A travels at 29 mph in a direction 40° south of east while ship B travels 25° north of east at 34 mph. a. What is the speed of ship A as seen by ship B?(mph) b. What is the distance between the two ships 2 hours after they depart? (miles)
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.
Ships A and B leave port together. For the next 2 hours, ship A travels at 29 mph in a direction 40° south of east while ship B travels 25° north of east at 34 mph.
a. What is the speed of ship A as seen by ship B?(mph)
b. What is the distance between the two ships 2 hours after they depart? (miles)
