Concept explainers

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.

Question

### Problem Statement:

A girl attaches a rock to a string, which she then swings counter-clockwise in a horizontal circle. The string breaks at point P in the figure, which shows a bird's-eye view (as seen from above). Which path (A-E) will the rock follow?

### Diagram Explanation:

- The diagram shows a circle representing the path of the rock, with point P marked on the circle's circumference where the string breaks.
- Five arrows originating from point P are labeled as paths A, B, C, D, and E, indicating the possible trajectories the rock could take after the string breaks.
- **Path A** is directed tangentially upwards-right from point P.
- **Path B** is directed upwards from point P.
- **Path C** is directed downwards-right from point P.
- **Path D** is directed downwards from point P.
- **Path E** is directed downwards-left from point P.

### Question:

Which path (A-E) will the rock follow after the string breaks?

### Answer Options:

- ☐ A. path A
- ☐ B. path B
- ☐ C. path C
- ☐ D. path D
- ☐ E. path E

### Explanation:

When a rock attached to a string is swung in a circular motion and the string breaks, the rock will continue to move in the direction it was headed at the moment the string broke. This is due to inertia and the principle of tangential velocity. Therefore, the rock will follow a tangential path from the point of breakage.

Given this explanation, identify which of the paths (A-E) is tangential to the circular path at point P.
