The following values represent a particle with an x-coordinate that varies in time. Time, t (s) Distance, x (m) 0 200 1 195 2 160 3 65 4 5 6 -120 -425 -880 7 -1515 (a) Linearize the graph. If necessary, compute different powers of variables and plot until you get a straight line. (b) Determine the equation of the line obtained. Indicate the value of n, k, and other constants or intercepts present in the graph.
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.
