6) Suppose water is dripping from a gutter at the top of a three story tall building. The drips of water leak out at a steady rate of 4 drips per second. As the drops of water fall under the influence of gravity (ignore air resistance), they: a) get farther apart. b) get closer together. c) remain at a relatively fixed distance from one another. d) get farther apart at first and then start getting closer together again. e) ....The question cannot be answered without knowing the mass of the drops of water.
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.
