Problem 7: A secret agent skis off a slope inclined at 0 = 29 degrees below horizontal at a speed of vo = 12.3 m/s. He must clear a gorge, and the slope on the other side of the gorge is h = 14.5 m below the edge of the upper slope. E w What is the maximum width, w, of the gorge (in meters) so that the agent clears it?
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.
