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, fo…

Chapter 2, Problem 67GP

|| Galileo’s marbles. Galileo used marbles rolling down inclined planes to deduce some basic properties of constant accelerated motion. In particular, he measured the distance a marble rolled during specific time periods. For example, suppose a marble starts from rest and begins rolling down an inclined plane with constant acceleration a. After 1 s, you find that it moved a distance x. (a) In terms of x, now for does it move in the next 1 s time per oc—that is, in the time between 1 s and 2 s? (b) How far does it move in the next second of the motion? (c) How far does it move in the nth second of the motion?
