Question 1.
Define displacement in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we describe where something is.
Question 2.
What is the equation for linear velocity?
Show hintHide hint
Remember where each variable comes from: velocity, angular velocity, and radius.
3Question 3.
What does displacement measure?
- A constant speed
- The location relative to a reference point
- The change in velocity
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we describe where something is located.
4Question 4.
True or False: Velocity only considers how fast an object moves.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the direction in which an object is moving.
Question 5.
In a four-bar linkage, calculate the instantaneous center of two links and determine the velocity of a point on one link given the input angle.
Show hintHide hint
Visualize the mechanism and apply the IC method.
Question 6.
A crank-slider mechanism operates at a fixed angular velocity. Calculate the Coriolis acceleration for the slider when the slider’s mass moves at a given velocity.
Show hintHide hint
Identify the angular velocity and calculate the relative speed.
