A billiard ball was set in motion on a counter by your mischievous little cousin who wanted the ball to hit your foot. To avoid your attention he set the ball in motion with a slow speed of 1.0 m/s (how did he know this unit?!) from a counter that is 1.1 m tall. Fortunately he missed. How long did it take to hit the floor?
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.
