2. Nicaria drives her scooter 10 kilometres north. She stops for lunch and then drives 5 kilometres east. What distance did she cover? What was her displacement? 3. Ivan walks to the Wendy's for lunch. He walk 3km cast, then 2 km south and then 1 km east again. What distance did he cover? What was his displacement? 4. On his fishing trip Joshua rides in a boat 15 km south. The fish aren't biting so they go 6 km west. They then follow a school of fish 2 km north. What distance did they cover? What was their displacement? 5. MyDava goes on a camel safari in Africa. She travels 6 km north, then 6 km east and then 8 km north again. What distance did she cover? What was her displacement?
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.
