Carmelo opened his front door and headed to school. He picked up speed as he left his front door and soon reached his usual moderate step. About halfway to school he slowed to a stop and watched a bird building a nest. When he realized he was late, he ran at a fast the rest of the way to school to avoid being marked late. He didn't slow until he was stopped by the pace safety guard in front of the school.
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.
