A motorist makes a trip of 180 km. For the first 90 km she drives at a constant speed of 30kph. At what constant speed must she drive the remaining distance if her average speed for the entire trip is to be 40 kph? (A) 50 kph (C) 70 kph (B) 60 kph (D) 80 kph 5. Starting from rest, a particle confined to move along a straight line is accelerated at a rate of 5.0 m/s². Which one of the following statements accurately describes the motion of this particle? (C)+22 m (D) +18 m (A) The particle travels 5.0 m during each second. (B) The particle travels 5.0 m only during the first second. (C) The speed of the particle increases by 5.0 m/s during each second. (D) The acceleration of the particle increases by 5.0 m/s² during each second. 5. A car, starting from rest, accelerates in a straight-line path at a constant rate of 2.5 m/s². How far will the car travel in 12 seconds? (A) 4.8 m (B) 30 m (C) 120 m (D) 180 m ". Carl Lewis set a world record for the 100.0-m run with a time of 9.86 s. If, after reaching the finish line, Mr. Lewis walked directly back to his starting point in 90.9 s, what is the magnitude of his average velocity for the 200.0 m? (A) 0 m/s (C) 1.10 m/s (B) 1.98 m/s (D) 10.1 m/s A brick is dropped from rest from a height of 4.9 m. How long does it take the brick to reach the ground? (A) 0.6 s (B) 1.0 s (C) 2.0 s (D) 1.2 s
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.
