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.
![### Motion in the x-y Plane
#### Problem Statement
An object moving in the x-y plane has a position vector given by:
\[ \vec{r} = (2t^3 - 5t)\hat{i} + (6 - t^4)\hat{j} \]
(in meters).
Find the particle’s
a. Position vector at \( t = 0 \) seconds
b. Position vector at \( t = 2 \) seconds
c. Displacement vector for this change in position
#### Solution
**a. Position vector at \( t = 0 \) seconds**
To find the position vector at \( t = 0 \) seconds, substitute \( t = 0 \) into the position vector equation:
\[ \vec{r}(0) = (2(0)^3 - 5(0))\hat{i} + (6 - (0)^4)\hat{j} \]
\[ \vec{r}(0) = 0\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} \]
Thus, the position vector at \( t = 0 \) seconds is:
\[ \vec{r}(0) = 6\hat{j} \, \text{meters} \]
**b. Position vector at \( t = 2 \) seconds**
To find the position vector at \( t = 2 \) seconds, substitute \( t = 2 \) into the position vector equation:
\[ \vec{r}(2) = (2(2)^3 - 5(2))\hat{i} + (6 - (2)^4)\hat{j} \]
\[ \vec{r}(2) = (2(8) - 5(2))\hat{i} + (6 - 16)\hat{j} \]
\[ \vec{r}(2) = (16 - 10)\hat{i} + (6 - 16)\hat{j} \]
\[ \vec{r}(2) = 6\hat{i} - 10\hat{j} \]
Thus, the position vector at \( t = 2 \) seconds is:
\[ \vec{r}(2) = 6\hat{i} - 10\hat{j} \, \text{meters} \]
**c. Displacement vector for this change in position**
