1. Motion Diagram An airplane is taking off. Its positions at 12 moments, each separated from the next by exactly 40 seconds, are indicated in the figure. Notice that each grey box corresponds to 1500 meters of real-life distance.
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.
Given:
A motion diagram of movement of airplane in 2 dimensions from moment 1 to moment 12.
1 gray box = 1500 m in real life.
Time between any two consecutive moment = 40 sec
We have to ,
- summarize how speed varies from moment 1 to 12
- find direction of displacement in 6 to 7 time interval.
- find average velocity in 8 to 9 interval.
