A ball is equipped with a speedometer and launched straight upward. The speedometer reading two seconds after launch is shown at the right; the ball is moving upward. At what approximate times would the ball display the following speedometer readings? 30 20 40 10 60 Speed m/s 30 20 10 40 50 20 40 10 50 0 60 60 Speed m/s Speed m/s Time (s): Time (s): Tap to Answer Tap to Answer 50 4. 30
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.
