2. (a) The figure below illustrates a racetrack near a refuelling station. route of car B (ii) racetrack 160 m- route of car A to refuelling station 120m the time taken return route to race track for car A The cars A and B are in a race and both have a speed of 80 m s¹. Car A has a lead over car B of 17.0 s at X when A leaves the racetrack to refuel. Car A travels 120 m from X to the refuelling station. refuelling station Calculate the following values for car A, from the point where it leaves the racetrack until it comes to rest at the refuelling station. Assume the deceleration is constant. (0) the average deceleration deceleration = time= Dedicated to Excellence...!!! ms-2 (b) Car A refuels in 9.0 s and then takes 4.0 s to travel to Y. During the refuelling of car A, car B continues to travel at 80 m s -¹. Calculate the time difference between the cars A and B as car A arrives back on the racetrack at Y. time.............. [3]
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.
