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.
![Problem 10.51 - Enhanced - with Hints and Feedback
The fish in (Figure 1), peering from just below the water
surface, spits a drop of water at the grasshopper and
knocks it into the water. The grasshopper's initial
position is 0.42 m above the water surface and 0.25 m
horizontally away from the fish's mouth. The launch
angle of the drop is 63° with respect to the water
surface.
