Exercises: TRANSLATION (RECTILINEAR MOTION) Solve the following problems: 1. An automobile travels 2500 m North along a straight road at a coristant velocity. The elapsed time is 2 min. Calculate the velocity in kilometers per hour (Km/hr). 2. How long does it take a car moving at a constant speed 44ft/sec to travel I mi.? 3. A car travels 270 mi in 4.5 hr. a.) What is the average speed? b.) How far will it go in 7 hr at this ave. speed? c.) How long will it take to travel 300 mi at this average speed?
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.
