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.

You wake up in a strange room, with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. though there is a window on the floor, and you can see that you're in a rocket that has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 5.31 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.27 m, it hits the floor 0.290 s later.
