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.
![5.An object accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 1.9m/s right for 5.0s. Find
a) The displacement
b) the final velocity

6.An object accelerates uniformly from a velocity of 5.0m/s north at a rate of
3.0m/s'north, what is the velocity of the object at 2.9s?
7.An object accelerates, uniformly from rest. If it travels 26.0m south, and reaches a
velocity of 11.0m/s south, how long was the object accelerating?
