For the situation below, plot a fully labeled positive vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graph. Be sure to label key points, justified with calculations during the motion for the cars position, velocity, and acceleration. A truck starting at a point 13m from its home position begins to accelerate in the south direction at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 for 2.5s. After this, the truck cruises at a constant speed for another 3.0s. The truck then slows down to a top in 3.5 s.
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.
