Sasquatch, the most elusive resident of the great northwest, spends each night foraging for nuts, berries, and discarded Clif bars. Every night, and starting from the home, protected Sasquatch cave, the Sasquatch can travel the entire Northwest portion of the Cascade mountains during this quest - from the southern Oregon Border to the Northern Washington border and a roughly 50 mile wide east-west band. When doing this each night, what is the average velocity required by the Sasquatch?
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.
