From the description of Seema’s journey below, construct a distance- time graph. Seema left home at 12:00 and after half an hour of moving at a constant speed, she had travelled 12km. At 12:30 pm her speed increased, and after an hour of travelling at a constant speed she had travelled a further 32km, at which point she stopped. After 3 hours of being stopped, she drove towards home at a constant speed, and it took her 2 hours in total to get home.
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.
