An athlete slidesdown from rest 40.0 meter along an icy hill which is 35 degrees from the horizontal. He then continues sliding on thelevel ice. a) If thecoefficient of kineticfriction between theathlete and ice is 0.20(neglect air resistance)find speed (m/s) of the athlete at the foot of the plane.b) ) find the distance(m) from the foot of theplane to the point wherehe has landed to the level ice
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.
