Question 16 Assume the velocity of a person traveling along a straight hiking trail is given by the graph. The input to the function is time in hours, and the output is velocity in miles per hour. The trail travels east-west, and the velocity shown is the eastward velocity. | If the hiker started 2 miles west of the only outhouse on this trail at time t = 0 hour, is there a time when the hiker is 5 miles east of the outhouse? Yes ONo O You cannot estimate that information using this graph.
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.
