A playful cat sees a mouse run past him with a constant velocity of 2 m/s. One second after the mouse passes the cat, the cat jumps after the mouse at an angle of 30 degrees and some unknown initial velocity. Being a naturally-talented cat, he lands perfectly right where the mouse ends up (the mouse didn't think to turn or change his speed). How much time does the cat spend in the air? O 0.89 seconds. O 2.01 seconds. O 0.62 seconds. O 1.57 seconds.
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.
