On a fishing trip on Lesser Slave Lake you drive your motorboat north at 20.0 km/h for 30.0 minutes. After realizing that you passed your fishing spot, you turn south and travel at 35 hm/h for 10.0 minutes. Determine your average. a) speed for this trip. [24km/h] b) velocity for this trip. [ 6.3 hm/h, North]
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.
