Assuming that all the numbers given are exact, what is John's position at a time of 4.41 s? Enter your answer to at least three significant digits.
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.
![John is rollerblading down a long, straight path. At time zero, there is a mailbox about 1 min front of him. In the 5 s time period
that follows, John's velocity is given by the velocity versus time graph in the figure. Taking the mailbox to mark the zero
location, with positions beyond the mailbox as positive, plot his position versus time in the given position versus time graph.
