The first action you should take if an engine fire starts on a powerboat while underway is to immediately shut down the engine to cut off fuel supply and minimize the fire's intensity. Next, activate the fire suppression system if available, and prepare to extinguish the fire using onboard fire extinguishers. If the fire cannot be controlled, prepare to abandon the vessel safely. Always ensure that passengers are informed and ready to follow emergency procedures.
When a boat goes forward, it is said to be "underway" or "making way." This term indicates that the vessel is in motion and moving through the water. The action of moving forward can also be referred to as "sailing" or "propelling," depending on the means of movement, such as using sails or an engine.
A jet engine, such as a turbojet or turbofan, is an example of an action-reaction engine that propels an object forward. These engines work on the principle of Newton's third law of motion - for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, creating thrust that propels the aircraft forward.
In maritime terms, "underway" refers to a vessel that is not at anchor, made fast to the shore, or aground, meaning it is currently in motion or has the ability to move. A ship is considered underway when it is navigating through the water, regardless of its speed. This status is crucial for determining the rules of navigation and right-of-way at sea.
A motion
It means the motion of range in action
action
A cycle is a complete motion or action that repeats over and over.
A cam is a rotating component used in a mechanism in order to transform a movement from a circular to a reciprocating motion. A crank performs the opposite action. A common example of a cam mechanism is that found on a car engine where the camshaft translates the rotary motion of the engine into a reciprocating motion to operate the intake and exhaust valves on the engine cylinders.
