a tiger is 45 ft directly south of a herd of elephants. the tiger starts to sinks towards the elephants at a rate of 3 ft/sec, 5 seconds after the tiger starts its path towards its elephant, on elephant bolt directly east at a rate of 7 ft/sec. how far is the distance between the tiger and bolting elephant changing four seconds after the elephant leaves the herd, assuming the tiger continues on its path towards the heards
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.
