Average speed (Vav) in cm /sec 244 181 186 204 Cn/S 225c224 caf233 227 Canlg Data and Analysis: 1. For each trial, calculate the average speed, Vav, by dividing the total change in position by the total time interval that elapsed, t. 2. Use the data for the first trial to plot a graph of position vs time. 3. On the same piece of graph paper, plot a graph of position vs time for each of the other trials you ran. label each graph with the number of the associated trial. 4. The shape of a position vs time graph for motion at constant speed is a straight line. Do your graphs have this shape?
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.
