3. A particle P travels in a straight line from A to D, passing through the points B and C. For the section AB the velocity of the particle is (0.5t - 0.01t²) ms ¹, where t s is the time after leaving A. (i) Given that the acceleration of P at B is 0.2ms-2, find the time taken for P to travel from A to B. The acceleration of P from B to C is constant and equal to 0.2 ms-². (ii) Given that P reaches C with speed 15 ms-¹, find the time taken for P to travel from B to C. P travels with constant deceleration 0.2 ms-² from C to D. Given that the distance CD is 300 m, find (iii) the speed with which P reaches D, (iv) the distance AD.
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.
