1. Situation: An SUV is parked along the side of a roadway, while a van is travelin adjacent to the SUV at a constant velocity of 25 m/s. At t=0, the SUV starts an accelerates at a constant rate. While the van begins to slow down with a constan rate of 1/5 that of the acceleration of the SUV at t=5. Believing that when the vehicles pass each other, the SUV has travelled 95 m, and that V(SUV) = V(van). Determin the: a. Acceleration of the SUV. b. Time when the 2 vehicles pass each other.
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.
