On the reverse page is pictured part of a collision between two dry-ice pucks A and B (m₂ = m = 300 g). The collision takes place using magnets and is captured using a strobe light that flashes 10 times a second. The centre of each puck is indicated using a small circle and the path of puck B has been erased. Puck B was initially at rest and was positioned at the small circle near the letter B. The image is shown to scale. Hints: ● ● Choose a convenient coordinate system for your measurements Indicate your sign convention Show your results on the front page and your work on this page.
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.
