9. Raul pogo sticks from his locker to his science class. He travels 8 m east then 8 m west back to his locker. What distance did he cover? What was his displacement? 10. Oliver buys a new Seadoo. He goes 12 km north from the beach. He jumps wakes for 6 km to the east. What distance did he cover? What was his 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.
