a) Using the graph, determine the acceleration of the object. Answer to two significant digits. b) Does the acceleration ever become zero? If so, explain at what location during the motion this occurs and at what time on the graph. c) Does the vertical component of velocity ever become zero? If so, explain at what location during the motion this occurs and at what time on the graph.
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.
a) Using the graph, determine the acceleration of the object. Answer to two
significant digits.
b) Does the acceleration ever become zero? If so, explain at what location during
the motion this occurs and at what time on the graph.
c) Does the vertical component of velocity ever become zero? If so, explain at what
location during the motion this occurs and at what time on the graph.
