3. An airplane with an airspeed of 80 meters per second is due east, gaining altitude, and has a line of flight of 25 degrees inclined with respect to the horizontal. At exactly 12:00 noon, a sports car is half a kilometer directly below the airplane and moving due south through a flat road at a horizontal speed of 50 meters per second. How fast are they separating at 12:01 PM?
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.
