A basketball player starts at the left end of the court and moves in a straight line toward right. His velocity graph is shown below. Answer the following: a) During 0-12 s, At what time or times does the player reaches the maximum speed? What is the player’s maximum speed? b) At what time or times does the player change direction, if any? c) What is the player’s acceleration during the first 6.0 seconds? During 6.0 -12 seconds? Does the player have larger acceleration during the first 6.0 seconds of motion, or last 6.0 second of motion? (show your work)
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.
