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.
Which of the following graphs applies to each situation? Each graph shows the behaviour of two objects; east is in the direction of positive d. (E.g., if graph A applies to situation 1, and C to the rest, enter ACCCCC)
1) An initially moving truck speeding up eastward and a westward moving truck slowing down.
2) A car, initially at rest, accelerating and a car moving initially at constant speed applying the brakes until it stops.
3) A train, initially moving at a steady speed, has brakes applied to match the speed of a train on a parallel track.
4) A jogger overtaking a walker.
5) A ball thrown upward and a ball thrown downward at the same time with the same initial speed.
6) An eastward moving truck applying the brakes and a westward moving truck speeding up.
