A car is travelling at 144.84 km/hr when it passes a motorcycle patrolman at A, who accelerates the motorcycle to catch the car. The motorcycle accelerates at constant rate till reaching a speed of 169 km/hr. After that the speed is constant. The motorcycle meets the car at 4.82 km from the starting point. What was the initial acceleration of the motorcycle?
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.
