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.

What is the direction of the acceleration vector for each of these situations? Remember that if an object speeds up, then the velocity and acceleration vectors are in the same direction; if an object slows down, then they are in opposite directions. Any object that is traveling in a vertical direction also experiences acceleration due to gravity. a. {up/ down/ right/ left} Object travels to left and slows down. b. {up/ down/ right/ left} Object is tossed upward.
