A biker at speed 8m/s dropped his wallet the moment he passed by you. It took 2s for you to pick up the wallet at the spot. If your maximum running speed is 10m/s, How much time will you spend running to catch up with the biker? 2. A biker at speed 8m/s dropped his wallet the moment he passed by you. It took 2s for you to pick up the wallet at the spot. If your stamina allows you to sprint for only 5s, with a constant acceleration, what should be your minimum acceleration to catch up?
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.
