If the acceleration of a truck over a given time interval is zero, how does the instantaneous velocity of that truck at any instant during that interval compare to its average velocity over that interval? A Instantaneous velocity would equal average velocity. B Instantaneous velocity would be less than average velocity. C Instantaneous velocity would be greater than average velocity. Instantaneous velocity will vary in value compared to average velocity. D
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.
