BALLS
What is sailing?
Sailing is a sport that requires the changing of the rigging and rudder on a boat to change the direction and speed of the boat. The boat is moved by wind against the sails.
Which way you are moving is you are changing longitude?
If you are changing longitudes while moving eastward, you are moving in an easterly direction. If you are changing longitudes while moving westward, you are moving in a westerly direction.
Which is the ability to maintain control while changing direction?
Agility is the ability to maintain control while changing direction. This involves a combination of balance, coordination, and quick reflexes to move efficiently in different directions. Agility is important in sports and everyday activities that require the ability to change direction quickly.
What is Change in direction of sailing or course of action called?
Changing the heading of the boat towards the direction the wind is coming from is called:Heading Up Turning the boat away from the wind direction is called:Bearing Away or Falling Off If the front turns through the direction the wind is coming from, it is called:Tacking or Coming About If the back of the boat turns through the direction the wind is coming from, it is called:Jibing
What direction must the ship be sailing?
In such a direction that it is not 'standing into danger'.
What is the ability to maintain control of the body while changing direction?
Agility is the ability to maintain control of the body while changing direction. It involves coordination, balance, and quick reactions to move efficiently and effectively in different directions.
When you go around a curve is your velocity changing?
Yes; although speed ( a scalar quantity) may be constant the velocity ( a vector with quantity and direction) is changing because the direction is changing
Which decides direction velocity or acceleration?
Acceleration determines the direction of velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes speed and direction, while acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If an object is accelerating, its velocity is changing, which means its direction is also changing.
Does the coriolis effect on the direction you are sailing?
Yes!
Is changing direction really the same as changing speed?
No. It is possible to change direction without changing speed. However, it is not possible to change direction without changing velocity.
How do you idenitfy ship sailing direction?
By compass heading
