An ant, crazed by the Sun on a hot Texas afternoon, darts over an xy plane scratched in the dirt. The x and y components of four consecutive darts are the following, all in centimeters: (26.0, 38.0), (bx, -65.0), (-17.0, cy), (-86.0, -59.0).The overall displacement of the four darts has the xy components (-180, -26.0).What are (a) by and (b) cy? What are the (c) magnitude and (d) angle (counterclockwise from the positive direction of the x axis) of the overall displacement? (a) Number Unit (b) Number Unit (c) Number (d) Number Unit Unit
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.
