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.

**Title: Calculating the Direction and Magnitude of Vectors**
**Objective:**
Understand how to determine the direction and magnitude of a given vector.
**Problem Statement:**
Given the vector **A** with components:
\[ \vec{A} = (26 \, \text{m} \, \hat{i}) + (-8.0 \, \text{m} \, \hat{j}) \]
**Part A: Finding the Direction**
Calculate the direction of the vector **A** in degrees, measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
**Instructions:**
1. Find the angle \( \theta_A \) by using the arctangent function, considering the signs of the vector components.
\[
\theta_A = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{A_y}{A_x} \right)
\]
Where:
\[ A_x = 26 \, \text{m} \]
\[ A_y = -8.0 \, \text{m} \]
2. Input your answer in degrees to the nearest whole number.
**Interface Example for Answer Input:**
```
[θ_A = ? \degree] counterclockwise from the positive x-axis

```
**Part B: Finding the Magnitude**
Express the magnitude of the vector **A** in meters, using two significant figures.
**Instructions:**
1. Calculate the magnitude \( |\vec{A}| \) using the Pythagorean theorem.
\[
|\vec{A}| = \sqrt{A_x^2 + A_y^2}
\]
2. Enter your answer in meters, rounded to two significant figures.
**Interface Example for Answer Input:**
```
[|\vec{A}| = ? m]

![### Understanding Road Grades
**Definition and Example:**
- A **One-Percent Grade** refers to a road that rises 1 foot for every 100 feet traveled horizontally. This type of grade is an example of a gentle incline in road engineering.
- Portions of the Lewiston grade, near Lewiston, Idaho, have a more significant 6% grade, indicating a steeper incline where the road rises 6 feet for every 100 feet of horizontal travel.
### Problem Statement on Calculating the Incline Angle
**Part A:**
- **Question:** At what angle is this road inclined above the horizontal? Express your answer using one significant figure.
- **Response Box:** There is a box provided for entering the angle (θ) in degrees.
- **Submission Process:**
- Input an answer, and click 'Submit.'
- Previous answers and requests for the correct answer can be managed through the provided buttons.
- The system issues feedback on the correctness of the answer, indicating the number of attempts remaining. For instance, "Incorrect; Try Again; 7 attempts remaining" suggests the answer given was incorrect, and seven attempts are left.
### Text Content:
"A One-Percent Grade
A road that rises 1 ft for every 100 ft traveled horizontally is said to have a 1 % grade. Portions of the Lewiston grade, near Lewiston, Idaho, have a 6 % grade."
**Interface Explanation:**
- There's a section to the right for answering the question, which includes:
- **Input Field:** A designated space to input the angle (θ).
- **Buttons:** There are functional buttons for mathematical inputs (including symbols for degrees and other operations).
- **Submit Button:** Used to submit the answer for evaluation.
- **Previous Answers/Request Answer:** Options to go back and view previous submissions or request the correct answer.
