A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed vo. At t=0 the car driver notices a red light ahead and slows down with constant acceleration -ao. Just as the car comes to a full stop, the light immediately turns green, and the car then accelerates back to its original speed to with constant acceleration ao. During the same time interval, the train continues to travel at the constant speed vo- ight © 201 t₂ = Submit Part C Ad = Submit 5 ΑΣΦ The train does not stop at the stoplight.

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.
