A car starts its rectilinear motion with an acceleration of 6.0 m/s2 which it maintains for 4.0 s. for 4.0 s. in the next 8.0 s it moves with constant velocity and then, applying the brakes, it decelerates with a magnitude the brakes, it decelerates with a magnitude of -10.0 m/s2 until it stops. until it stops. Determine: (a) The total distance traveled. (b) Make the graph ?⃗ - ?? - ? of the entire motion.
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.
