To make a determination of when the acceleration of the hiker was positive, negative or zero, I used the graph of the velocity function and: I read the values off of the graph at a particular time or interval of times. l estimated the slope of the graph at a particular time or interval of times. I looked at the concavity of the graph at a particular time or interval of times. I estimated the accumulated area beneath the graph at a particular time or interval of times. O None of these methods will produce the corect answer.
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.
