Concept explainers

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.

U V= m/s Record your numerical answer below, assuming three significant figures.
Which if the following are TRUE? Select one or more: a. At constant initial velocity, as the launch angle increases, maximum height decreases. The maximum height is inversely proportional to the square of the sine of the launch angle. b. At constant initial velocity, as the launch angle increases, maximum height also increases. The maximum height is directly proportional to the square of the sine of the launch angle. c. At constant initial velocity, as the launch angle increases, time of flight also increases.
