The acceleration of the particle moving along horizontal path is constant and equal to 4 m/sec2 to the left. During certain time interval the particle has displacement of 42 m to the right and travels a total distance of 58m. A. Draw a sketch showing the details of the motion of the particle; B. Determine the initial and final velocity of the particle and the time interval.
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.
