A skier starts from rest down a slope 500.0 m long. The skier accelerates at a constant rate of 2.00 m/s squared. • a. Find the velocity of the skier at the bottom of the slope. Do this by deriving two separate equations for time and then making the expressions equal to each other to solve for the second velocity. • b. Using the distance down the hill, and the two velocities, determine the time it took to descend the hill.
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.
