A package is dropped from an airplane travelling horizontally at 160 km/h to accident victims on a desert island. The package will land a) at a point depending on both the force of gravity and the velocity of the airplane b) at a point depending on the force of gravity, the wind velocity, and the velocity of the airplane c) at a point depending only on the velocity of the airplane d) directly below where it was dropped
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.
