Televising a Rocket Launch A major network is televising the launching of a rocket. A camera tracking the liftoff of the rocket is located at point A, as shown in the accompanying figure, where p (phi) denotes the angle of elevation of the camera at A. How fast (in rad/sec) is a changing at the instant when the rocket is at a distance of 13,000 ft from the camera and this distance is increasing at the rate of 590 ft/sec? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) rad/sec 12,000 ft ↑
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.
