2) A mouse is running at constant speed of 5 m/s, not aware that a cat was watching it. The cat was 50 m away from the mouse and 100 m away from a hole on the wall the mouse is running to. The cat and the mouse are both on a path that is straight and perpendicular to the wall. The cat begins to chase the mouse with a constant acceleration of 1.38m/s² right at the moment when the mouse was 50 m away from the wall. Will the cat catch up with the mouse before the mouse gets to the hole on the wall?
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.
