You have exactly 5 minutes 30 seconds to get to your next class on time and that classroom is 402 m east of where you are right now. First you run to your dorm room at an average velocity of 4.07 m/s to the south to pick up your calculator and your dorm room is 466 m south of where you were initially. What average velocity (magnitude only) do you now need to run from your dorm room to your classroom to arrive exactly on time? Question 4 options: 2.63 m/s 1.86 m/s 4.07 m/s 2.86 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.
