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.
1. A particle moving in a straight line has an acceleration a = 4t – 9. Its initial velocity is 4m/s. Find the velocity (in m/s) after 6s.
2. A particle moves in accordance with the equation a = 24 – 6t2. When t = 0, v = 20m/s. Find the maximum positive velocity (in m/s).
