In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.12 m. The mug slides off the counter and strikes the floor 0.60 m from the base of the counter. (a) With what velocity did the mug leave the counter? m/s (b) What was the direction of the mug's velocity just before it hit the floor? • (below the horizontal)
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.
