A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 2.36 m/s. (a) After 3.00 s, what is the speed of the mailbag? v = m/s (b) How far is it below the helicopter? d = (c) What are your answers to parts (a) and (b) if the helicopter is rising steadily at 2.36 m/s?
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.
