2. A driver riding a Honda CB1000R moves along a straight path at 80mph. He suddenly saw an injured lady rider on the side of the lover and he decided to stop and help her. He hit his brakes and the motorcycle completely stopped after 5 seconds. Assume that during the time of decceleration, the big bike's acceleration remains constant. Between applying the brake and coming to rest, how far has the motorcycle traveled?
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.
