1. On the last worksheet we found that a 2016 Lamborghini has a maximum acceleration of 10.3 m/s². If the gas pedal is applied maximally, how far will it travel as it goes from 0 to 60 mph?
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.
![1. On the last worksheet we found that a 2016 Lamborghini has a maximum acceleration of 10.3 m/s². If
the gas pedal is applied maximally, how far will it travel as it goes from 0 to 60 mph?
2. The car's brakes and tires provide up to 12.7 m/s² of deceleration on a dry road. How long will it take
to slow down from 60mph to 30mph if the driver jams on the brakes?
3. A particle's position along the x-axis as a function of time is given by x(t) = 7.0- 12t + 2.5t²
where x is in meters and t is in seconds.
a) Determine this particle's initial position, its initial velocity, and its acceleration. You can compare it to
a kinematics equation or simply use calculus.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3c5a5d39-4610-4542-84f3-e3a5fb07be7c%2F1b6ca887-19bf-43b4-b201-5a67ead3c270%2Fv7jtq4o_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
