After James is done with the bacteria experiment, he sees Kevin in the distance, he begins to run and notices that Kevin is on the edge of a cliff taunting him. You see, there Kevin is at the top of one cliff, while James is at the top of a lower one. If the Kevin is 5m above and 7m away. a) How fast and at what angle would James have to jump to get to the other side? b) What would be his time of flight?
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.
