You decide to travel by car for your holiday visits this year. You leave early in the morning to avoid congestion on the roads. This enables you to drive at a comfortable speed of u = 68.0 mph for t = 2.08 hours. However, after this time, you unexpectedly come to a stop for fstop = 42.1 min. Traffic starts moving again and you finish your travel at vz = 54.0 mph for an additional t2 = 1.25 hours. There are 1609 meters in one mile. What was the total distance d traveled? d = What was the average speed i? m/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.
