4.3 You are driving in one direction on a long straight road. You drive in the positive direction at 126 km/h for 30.0 minutes, at which time you see a police car with someone pulled over, presumably for speeding. You then drive in the same direction at 100 km/h for 45.0 minutes. (a) How far did you drive? (b) What was your average velocity in kilometers per hour? (a) km (b) km/h 4.4 You made a journey, and your displacement was +95.0 km. Your initial velocity was 167 km/h and your final velocity was -26.0 kmh. The journey took 43.0 minutes. What was your average veiocity in kilometers per hour? km/h
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.
