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.

Archibald, an aging geezer, is out bicycling one fine afternoon, reliving his glorious youth and oblivious to the world around him. As he approaches a busy intersection, a police officer directing traffic blows his whistle to get Archie’s attention so he’ll slow down and stop. But Archie doesn’t stop; he just speeds right through the intersection as if the traffic cop wasn’t even there. The cop radios one of his colleagues and gets her to stop the old geezer. She gives him a traffic citation for failing to heed the command of a police officer directing traffic. When the case gets to traffic court, Archie explains to the judge that he didn’t hear the officer’s whistle because he is going deaf and cannot hear frequencies above 3000 Hz. The traffic cop informs the judge that his standard issue police whistle emits a frequency of 2100 Hz and he has a certificate to prove it. Thinking quickly (at least for an old geezer) Archie says that it may be true that the police whistle emits a sound…
