Question 1 A ramp is made by leaning a track against a few textbooks. A cart is set on the track and rolls down the ramp. Below on the left is a picture of this setup. Below on the right is the position and time data of the cart moving down the ramp. Position from top of ramp (mm) Average time (s) 0.00 100 0.48 200 0.68 300 0.84 400 0.97 500 1.08 600 1.18 700 1.28 800 1.37 900 1.45 1000 1.53 (a) Estimate the Distance of the cart at 1.41 seconds. Write your answer in meters (m). (b) A car is travelling at 80 4 Calculate how far does the car travel in 160 minutes? (c) Sketch a Position-Time graph of this data. Plot the Position data in centimeters, and plot the Time data in seconds.
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.
