A car is driving directly north on the freeway at a speed of 111 km/h and a truck is leaving the freeway driving 86.6 km/h in a direction that is 35° west of north. Assume north to be in the +y-direction and east to be in the +x-direction. a. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car? answer in km/h b. What is the direction of the velocity of the truck relative to the car? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates south of west and negative indicates north of west. answer in degrees
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.
