A dog runs with an average velocity of 7.5 m/s east from one point to another in 2.4 s. It then pauses before running with an average velocity of 6.8 m/s east for 3.5 s to another point. What is the dog's total displacement from its starting point? 42 m, west O 6 m, west O 6 m, east O 42 m, east Submit Request Answer
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.
