Concept explainers

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.

We can also use motion graphs to see if an object is coming towards or
moving away from us. Assume you are at d=0. For each of the graphs below, label whether the object is
moving away from you, towards you, or staying the same distance from you:

Short computation The position of an object as a function of time is given by x(t) = bt2 - ct, where b = 2.2 m/s² and c = 7.1 m/s. What is the instantaneous velocity v of the object when t = 7.9 s? v= m/s Remember to include a "-" if the velocity turns out to be negative. Do not include a "+" for a positive value. Report your numerical answer below, assuming three significant figures.
