Concept explainers

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.

A Ford passes a Toyota on the road (both vehicles are traveling in the same direction). The Ford moves at a constant speed of 35.9 m/s. Just as the Ford passes it, the Toyota is traveling at 16.8 m/s. As soon as the Ford passes the Toyota, the Toyota begins to accelerate forward at a constant rate.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle are both traveling at the same speed of 23.0 m/s , and the distance between them is 52.0 m . After t1 = 3.00 s , the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 8.00 m/s2 . The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2. How long does it take from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car? In other words, find t2−t1.
