A car and a truck move together on a straight road. The graphs of the position of the car and the speed of the truck as a function of time are show in the figure. In addition, it is known that the starting position of the truck is xc = 7 im. 5 2 t(s) vc (m/s) 1 a) Determine the X-component of the car's displacement (in m) after 1.93 seconds. b) If the starting position of the truck is xc = 6.09 i m. Determine the component in X of the position of the truck (in m) after 2 seconds. c) If the starting position of the truck is xc = 6.86 i m. Find the instant of time (in s) in which they cross for the first time.
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.
Indications : Consider if gravity is necessary in 10 m/s^2.
