Velocity Velocity: Speed in a given direction Formula: Velocity= Distance/ Time Units: m/s, km/hr, mph (depends on units used in the question) Practice: 1. What is the average velocity of a train that travels 100 miles per hour while traveling North? miles per hour 2. What is the average velocity of a toy car traveling 12 meters in 4 seconds while traveling left? meters per second
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.
