The best fit line drawn on the velocity versus time graph should not pass through the origin. Using the best fit line, determine the velocity of the plummet when it passed dot 0. Using this velocity and the slope of your best fit line, determine the time elapsed between the release of the plummet and when dot 0 was made. Also, determine the distance the plummet fell before dot 0 was made. Does this distance seem reasonable?
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.
