An athlete is training on a 100 m long linear track. His motion is described by the graph of his position vs. time, below. X (m) 100 80 D B 60 40 A 20 t (s) 60 10 20 30 40 50 (a) For each segment of the graph, find the magnitude and direction of the athlete's velocity. magnitude va m/s direction VA positive x magnitude vB m/s direction VB The magnitude is zero. v magnitude vc m/s direction vC negative x magnitude vp m/s direction VD positive x (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the athlete's average velocity over the entire 60 s interval? magnitude m/s direction positive x
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.
I am needing assistance with this question in its entirety
***Please type your answer or write in print, because I have had great difficulty with understanding most handwritten assistance done in cursive or mixed print/cursive.
Given that:
length of the track is x=100 m
It is required to determine the magnitude of the vector and the average velocity over the 60 seconds interval.
