A traveler sets out from a Town A and travels 272.0 km (West) in a time of 300 min arriving at Town B. She hangs out there for 200 min before she departs traveling 178.9 km (North) in a time of 145 min. She has now arrived at Town C. What is the magnitude of her average velocity going from Town A to Town C? Select one: Ⓒa. 11.7 m/s 12.2 m/s 10.7 m/s 8,40 m/s O b. C. d.
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.
