1. Consider the position vs. time graph below for cyclists A and B. Remember: X stands for position (m) A B E t(s) Śs Remember: t stands for time a. Do the cyclists start at the same point? How do you know? If not, which is ahead? b. At t= 7s, which cyclist is ahead? (Hint: look at position) How do you know? c. Which cyclist is travelling faster at t = 3s? How do you know? (Hint: look at slope) d.Are their speeds (slope) equal at any time? How do you know? e. What is happening at the intersection of lines A and B?
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.
