1. A group of mountain climbers walked 5.7 km north from their camp, then walk 10 km more to the east. (a) What was the total distance walked by the mountain climbers? (b) Determine the total displacement from the starting point. 2. Anna walked 12 km north, 15 km south, and then walk 12 km west. What is the total distance Anna traveled? What is her total displacement? 3. A body is moving at a uniform speed travels a distance of 120 m/s in 10 s. Find its average speed.
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.
