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.

#### Problem Statement:
**a.** A particle is undergoing uniform rectilinear motion, and the displacement as a function of time is given by:
\[ r(t) = 6t^4 - 2t^3 - 12t^2 + 3t + 3 \]
where \( r \) is in meters and \( t \) is in seconds.
**b.** What is uniform rectilinear motion?
**c.** Find the average acceleration of the particle between \( t = 0 \) and \( t = 2 \) seconds.
**d.** When is the acceleration zero?
#### Explanation and Calculations:
**b. Understanding Uniform Rectilinear Motion:**
Uniform rectilinear motion refers to motion along a straight line with constant velocity. This implies that the speed and direction of the particle do not change over time.
**c. Calculating the Average Acceleration:**
To find the average acceleration, we need to:
1. Determine the velocity function \( v(t) \) by differentiating the displacement function \( r(t) \) with respect to time \( t \).
2. Determine the acceleration function \( a(t) \) by differentiating the velocity function \( v(t) \) with respect to time \( t \).
3. Evaluate the velocity at \( t = 2 \) and \( t = 0 \), and then compute the average acceleration over the interval.
\[ r(t) = 6t^4 - 2t^3 - 12t^2 + 3t + 3 \]
First derivative to find \( v(t) \) (velocity):
\[ v(t) = \frac{d}{dt} r(t) = 24t^3 - 6t^2 - 24t + 3 \]
Second derivative to find \( a(t) \) (acceleration):
\[ a(t) = \frac{d}{dt} v(t) = 72t^2 - 12t - 24 \]
Evaluate \( v(t) \) at \( t = 2 \) and \( t = 0 \):
\[ v(2) = 24(2)^3 - 6(2)^2 - 24(2) + 3 = 192 - 24 - 48 + 3 = 123 \, \text{m/s}](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2432691a-c29a-4a02-b85a-93b716867369%2F21f7fc72-7744-4f8a-ab2b-82cce81e2f16%2Fptm08or_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
