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 7PQ

After a long and grueling race, two cadets, A and B, are coming into the finish line at the Marine Corps marathon. They move in the same direction along a straight path; the position-versus-time graphs for the runners are shown in Figure P2.7 for a minute near the end of the race. a. At time t₁ is the speed of cadet B greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of cadet A? b. At time t₂, is cadet B speeding up, slowing down, or moving with constant speed? c. From time t = 0 to time t = 60 s, is the average speed of cadet B greater than, less than, or equal to the average speed of cadet A? Explain.

An infinitely long conducting cylindrical rod with a positive charge λ per unit length is surrounded by a conducting cylindrical shell (which is also infinitely long) with a charge per unit length of −2λ and radius r1, as shown in the figure. What is σinner, the surface charge density (charge per unit area) on the inner surface of the conducting shell? What is σouter, the surface charge density on the outside of the conducting shell? (Recall from the problem statement that the conducting shell has a total charge per unit length given by −2λ.)

A small conducting spherical shell with inner radius aa and outer radius b is concentric with a larger conducting spherical shell with inner radius c and outer radius d (Figure 1). The inner shell has total charge +2q, and the outer shell has charge −2q. What's the total charge on the inner surface of the small shell? What's the total charge on the outer surface of the small shell? What's the total charge on the inner surface of the large shell? What's the total charge on the outer surface of the large shell?
