The table below give the velocity, in feet per second, of a rider on a Ferris Wheel at an amusement part. The time, t, is measured in seconds after the ride starts. The rider moves smoothly and the table gives the values for one complete revolution of the wheel. The rider boards the Ferris Wheel at the bottom. to 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 v(t) 0 1.6 2.7 3.1 2.4 1.6 0 -1.6 -2.7 -3.1 -2.4| -1.6 0
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.
The time t=47 s lies in interval t=45 to 50
The velocity in this interval is between -3.1 to -2.4.
