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 2: A student pushes a baseball of m = 0.18 kg down onto the top of a vertical spring that has its lower end fixed to a table, compressing the
spring a distance of d = 0.14 meters from its equilibrium length. The spring constant of the spring is k = 740 N/m. Let the gravitational potential energy be
zero at the position of the baseball in the compressed spring.
