An AUS student drives from home to attend her 9 am class. She drives east for 15 minutes at 80 km/h and noted that she had a flat tire. She stops for 45 minutes replacing the flat tire with the spare tire. She then continues her journey eastward traveling another 37 km for 18 minutes to reach the campus. Her average velocity during the entire period is approximatly. a ) 64 km/h b ) 44 km/h c ) 39 km/h d) 6 km/h
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.
