You and 3 of your friends are sitting in the MSA Plaza when you realize that it is time for physics class. You all race to class but each take different path to get there. Who had the highest average speed? A) Your first friend goes in through the basement and travels a total of 300 m in 50 s B)Your second friend goes in through the first floor and travels a total of 400 m in 65s C)You cut across the courtyard and travel a total of 200 m in 30 s D)Your third friend gets lost and travels a total of 500 m in 80 s
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.
