is Sandy correct that the moving man did not return to his starting location? State your claim of agreeing or disagreeing with the moving man having a non zero total displacement. Gather evidence from your calculations. Connect your evidence to your claim by reasoning why it supports your claim. Choose your claim sandy is correct that the moving man did not return to its starting location. Sandy is incorrect the moving man returned to its starting position.
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.
The image with the highlighting and numbers is a solved example problem. The other image is the problem you're solving. Hint: 5m came from the height and then we had 1s. Each square is 5 by 1 or 5m while each triangle is 2.5 m. In other words, rise of 5 and run of 1. On the right side, they become negative because we're going down. On the example you add all the 5m and 2.5 m on the left and right side you get 20 m and -20 m. In the example the final answers are 20 m and -20 m and when added together they equal zero. Therefore, the moving man returned to its starting location.
SOLVE the problem below do not solve the example problem. However be sure to show all work and solve just like in the example.
Now solve the Sandy problem the same way.
is Sandy correct that the moving man did not return to his starting location?
State your claim of agreeing or disagreeing with the moving man having a non zero total displacement. Gather evidence from your calculations. Connect your evidence to your claim by reasoning why it supports your claim.
