Concept explainers

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.

A cheetah is crouched 20 m to the east of a vehicle . Attime t = 0 the cheetah begins to run due east toward an antelope thatis 50 m to the east of the vehicle. During the first 2.0 s of the chase,the cheetah’s x-coordinate varies with time according to the equationx = 20 m + (5.0 m>s2)t2. Derive an expression for the cheetah’s instantaneous velocity as a function of time, and use it to find vx at t = 1.0 s and t = 2.0 s.

Wyle E. Coyote hears a constant “Beep! Beep!” from around the corner of a cliff. Thinking it might be the Road Runner, he scampers up to speed and runs towards the sound to the East. On coming around the corner, he sees that it is not the Road Runner, but a truck coming towards him towards the West. The speed of the truck is 25 m/s. The speed of the Coyote is 100 m/s.

A red Mazda Miata (type of car) accelerates from rest at a rate of a₁ in the positive x direction for a total of 20.0 seconds. The Mazda then holds their speed and direction constant for a 20.0 additional seconds. Finally, while continuing in the positive x direction, the Mazda slows down at a rate of a2 until the car stops moving.
