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.
![Computation.
A ceramic figurine is launched at 40 m/s at 58° above horizontal.
What is its speed when it reaches half its maximum height?
[Hint: Start by obtaining the relation between its launch velocity
(speed and angle) and its maximum height. Use that relation to
eliminate the final height from the energy conservation equation.]
