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.
Illustrate a scenario that uniformly accelerated motion applied. Use the 5 equations to show its applicability.
Vf=Vi + a∆t
∆x= Vi ∆t + 0.5a∆t^2
Vf^2= Vi^2 + 2a∆x
∆x= 0.5 (Vf + Vi)∆t
Apply it on this scenario:
A ballpen is thrown upward at 40 m/s from the ground.
