What is the average acceleration of the particle during the following time intervals? (Enter your answers in m/s2. Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.) (i) 0s to 4.00 s -20 X What do you notice about the initial and final velocities along this time interval? What is the change in velocity? What does this imply about the average acceleration? m/s² (ii) 4.00 s to 12.0 s 40 X What is the definition of average acceleration? What are the initial and final times? Read the initial and final velocities from the graph. m/s² (iii) 0 s to 16.0 s m/s²
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.
