Concept explainers

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.

A boat is cruising in a straight line at a constant speed of 2.5 m/sm/s when it is shifted into neutral. After coasting 11 mm the engine is engaged again, and the boat resumes cruising at the reduced constant speed of 1.5 m/s. Assuming constant acceleration while coasting, how much time did it take for the boat to coast the 11 mm?
A river flows with a uniform velocity v. A person in a motorboat travels 1.30km upstream, at which time she passes a log floating by. Always with the same throttle setting, the boater continues to travel upstream for another 51.3min and then returns downstream to her starting point, which she reaches just as the same log does. Calculate the velocity of the river.
An overhead view of part of a pinball game is shown. If the plunger imparts an initial speed of 2.0 m/s to the ball at time t = 0, determine the acceleration a of the ball (a) at time t = 0.15 s and (b) at time t = 0.28 s. At point F, the speed of the pinball has decreased by 18% from the initial value, and this decrease may be assumed to occur uniformly over the total distance traveled by the pinball.

You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 27.0 m. Both your car and the police car are traveling at 100 km/h. Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.30 s (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, "I won't do that!"). At the beginning of that 2.30 s, the police officer begins emergency braking at 5.00 m/s². (a) What is the separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns? m (b) Suppose that you take another 0.400 s to realize your danger and begin braking. If you too brake at 5.00 m/s², what is your speed when you hit the police car? km/h
