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.

The automobile is originally at rest, i.e., s (t = 0 s) = 0 m. If it then starts toincrease its speed at a (t) = (0.05t2 ) ft/s 2 , where t is in seconds, then determine the magnitudes ofits velocity and acceleration at s = 550 ft. Note that a (t) becomes a t (t) along the circular path.
. When we estimate distances from velocity data, it is some- times necessary to use times fo, f1, fz, fz, ... that are not equally spaced. We can still estimate distances using the time periods At; = ti – ti-1. For example, on May 7, 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour was launched on mission STS-49, the purpose of which was to install a new perigee kick motor in an Intelsat communications satellite. The table, provided by NASA, gives the velocity data for the shuttle between liftoff and the jettisoning of the solid rocket boosters. Use these data to estimate the height above the earth's surface of the space shuttle Endeavour, 62 seconds after liftoff. Event Time (s) Velocity (ft/s) Launch Begin roll maneuver End roll maneuver 10 185 15 319 Throttle to 89% Throttle to 67% 20 447 32 742 Throttle to 104% 59 1325 Maximum dynamic pressure Solid rocket booster separation 62 1445 125 4151
A model rocket is launched straight up from level ground. The engine ofthe rocket burns for about 3 seconds and is completely burned out after4.5 seconds. Acceleration readings are made every 0.5 seconds, and areshown in Table P9.7. Positive accelerations are upward. After the engineburns out, the acceleration will be –g, the acceleration due to gravity, or–9.8 m/s2. Using Excel, find:- the time at which the rocket hits the ground - the speed at which the rocket hits the ground
You live on a planet far from ours. Based on extensive communicationwith a physicist on earth, you have determined that all lawsof physics on your planet are the same as ours and you have adopted thesame units of seconds and meters as on earth. But you suspect that thevalue of g, the acceleration of an object in free fall near the surface ofyour planet, is different from what it is on earth. To test this, you take asolid uniform cylinder and let it roll down an incline. The vertical height hof the top of the incline above the lower end of the incline can bevaried. You measure the speed vcm of the center of mass of the cylinderwhen it reaches the bottom for various values of h. You plot v 2cm (inm2/s2) versus h (in m) and find that your data lie close to a straight linewith a slope of 6.42 m/s2. What is the value of g on your planet?
The acceleration of a particle is given by a - 2t - 17, where a is in meters per second squared and tis in seconds. Determine the velocity and displacement as functions of time. The initial displacement at t= 0 is so = -2 m, and the initial velocity is vo = 4 m/s. Once you have determined the functions of time, answer the questions. Questions: When t = 5.9 s, m i m/s m/s?
