An airplane in level flight travels horizontally with a constant eastward acceleration of 8.35 m/s2 and a constant northward acceleration of −22.0 m/s2. The airplane's initial velocity has eastward and northward components of 81.0 m/s and −14.0 m/s, respectively. Determine the magnitude of the airplane's displacement from its initial position after 16.0 s. ? m
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.
