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.

4. At the construction site of a tall building, a worker is in an elevator descending at a constant downwards velocity of 5 m/s. When the elevator is 40 meters above ground level, her friend, standing at ground level, tosses a wrench straight upward with an initial speed of 25 m/s. Take the time when the wrench is tossed as t = 0. For this problem, use g = 10 m/s². a. Draw a labeled picture with symbols and all relevant values. Quantities that are different should be given different symbols, for example y, and Yw. b. Graph the velocities versus time of the elevator and the wrench on the same graph. Label axes of the graph (with units). C. At what time does the wrench and the elevator have the same velocity? 20 10 -10 -20 3 4 time (s) d. Which object (the wrench or elevator) is higher when their velocities are the same? By how much is one object higher than the other at this time? (s/u) ka

A. Label the graphs as Position, Velocity or Acceleration B. Which of the following situations, consistent with your answer to Part (a), is most accurately represented by the graphs? A car driving in the negative x direction suddenly shifts into reverse, and, with tires spinning, slows to a momentary stop before beginning to move in the positive x direction. A rock is dropped from rest from the top of a tall building. The positive direction is upward, and drag may be neglected. A sprinter runs a 100-meter dash in the negative x direction. Starting from rest, she has a constant acceleration for the first 50 meters followed by a constant speed for the remaining 50 meters. A car driving in the positive x direction slams on its brakes and comes to rest.
