Concept explainers

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.

Component Method: With your calculator, determine the x and y components of F1 and F2. Remember that Fx = Fcos θ and Fy = F sin θ. Find the x and y components of the resultant from the sum of x and y components. Draw a right triangle with x and y components as sides, and the hypotenuse representing the resultant. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant from the square root of (Rx2 + Ry2). Calculate the direction of the resultant by using θ R = tan-1 (Ry/Rx).

A male and a female trampolinist are at the same height, which is halfway to their maximum height. One is going up whilst the other is coming down. At this halfway height: Their velocities are equal to their accelerations. Their velocities and accelerations are both equal and opposite. Their accelerations are equal but their velocities are equal and opposite. Their velocities are equal but their accelerations are equal and opposite. Their velocities and accelerations are proportional to their masses. Their velocities and accelerations are equal. Previous Page Next Page Page 14 of 14
