A ball is moving through the air. The data in the table that follows are either the x or y position coordinates of the ball as a function of time. (The positive y axis is upward.) Use these data to find velocities as a function of time, and determine from the velocities whether these data are x or y coordinates. Be sure to explain thoroughly how you reached your conclusion. (You may wish to plot a graph.) Time (s) 0.00 0.20 0.40 0.60 0.80 1.00 1.20 1.40 1.60 1.80 2.00 Position m) 5.00 7.80 10.22 12.24 13.86 15.10 15.94 16.40 16.46 16.12 15.40
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.
