The position of a particle which moves along a straight line is defined by the relation x = t3 - 6t2 - 15t + 40, where x is expressed in meter and t in seconds. Determine the distance traveled by the particle from t = 5 seconds to t = 6 seconds. Select one: O a. 8 meters O b. 20 meters O C. 4 meters O d. 10 meters
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.
