6. A car and a truck are each traveling at 70 ft/s, and the car is 75 ft. behind the truck. The car driver decides to pass the truck, and he steps on the gas, producing an acceleration of 6 ft/s. a. How long will it be before the car is alongside the truck? b. How fast will the car be moving relative to the truck when they are side by side?
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.
