You leave your house and drive to your friend's house, where you stay a while. Then you come back home. Which of the following must be true of your trip? Your instantaneous velocity was never zero. Your average velocity was zero. Your acceleration was constant. Your net displacement was not zero. Your average speed was zero.
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.
I am taking a practice quiz in order to study. I can seem to understand this problem. I think that the average velocity is 0. Am I correct?
