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.
![Shown is a collision between two pucks on an air hockey table. Puck a has mass 0.025kg and is moving along the x-axis with a velocity of +5.5m/s. It makes a collision with puck B, which has a mass of 0.05kg and is initially at rest. The
collision is not head-on. After the collision the pucks fly off with the angles as shown.
