4. A clock in space is constructed so that it keeps perfect time when its simple pendulum has a period of exactly 2.00 s. The pendulum bob has a length of 0.384 m and instead of keeping perfect time, the clock runs slow by 10.843 minutes per day. a) What is the free-fall acceleration (in m/s?) at the clock's location in space? b) What length of the pendulum bob (in m) is required for the clock to keep perfect time?
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.
Could someone please explain? Thank you!
