A cab driver heads south with a steady speed of v, = 24.0 m/s for t, = 3.00 min, then makes a right turn and travels at v, = 25.0 m/s for t, = 2.20 min, and then drives northwest a v, = 30.0 m/s for t, = 1.00 min. For this 6.20-min trip, calculate the following. Assume +x is in the eastward direction. (a) total vector displacement (Enter the magnitude in m and the direction in degrees south of west.) magnitude direction south of west (b) average speed (in m/s) m/s (c) average velocity (Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees south of west.) magnitude m/s direction south of west
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.
