1. A car starting from rest picks up at a uniform rate and passes three electric posts in succession. The posts are spaced 340 m apart along a straight road. The car takes 10 seconds from 1" post to 2 post and 6 seconds from 2 post to 3" post. Compute for the following a. Acceleration of the car in m/s b. Velocity of the car as it reaches the first post. C. Distance from the starting point to the first point.
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.
