1. The position of a particle moving along the x-axis is given by x = A+Bt°. Consider the time interval t = 2s tot = 3s. (a) What SI units must A and B have? For the following, let their numerical values in SI units be 9.75 and 1.5, respectively. Then, calculate: (b) the average velocity (c) the average acceleration (d) the instantaneous velocity at t = 2.5s (e) the instantaneous acceleration at t 2.5s (f) the instantaneous velocity when the particle is midway between its positions at 2s and t 3s.
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.
