1). The American physical chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946) proposed a unit of time called the “jiffy.” According to Lewis, 1 jiffy the time it takes light to travel one centimeter. If you perform a task in a jiffy, how long has it taken in seconds? How many jiffy are in one minute? (Use the fact that the speed of light is approximate.)
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.
