Challenge Problem 1.91 All the stars of the Big Dipper (part of the constellation Ursa Major) may appear to be the same distance from the earth, but in fact they are very far from each other. the figure (Figure 1) shows the distances from the earth to each of these stars. The distances are given in light-years (ly), the distance that light travels in one year. One light- year equals 9.461 × 1015m. Part A Alkaid and Merak are 25.6° apart in the earth's sky. Find the distance in light-years from Alkaid to Merak. Express your answer in light-years. ? 46 ly Submit Previous Answers Request Answer Figure < 1 of 1 > X Incorrect; Try Again; 5 attempts remaining Part B Dubhe 105 ly Megrez 81 ly To an inhabitant of a planet orbiting Merak, how many degrees apart in the sky would Alkaid and our sun be?

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.
