A car was moving with a constant speed of 80 km/h passed by a policeman, who decided to catch it and give it a ticket. After a delay of 4 seconds, the policeman was following the car with a constant speed of 105 km/h. When he caught up with the car: (1) what was the covered distance from the first point they met? .... (2) after how many seconds after their first meeting was that? .... (3) Draw a suitable graph of motion that explains, how to solve this problem
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.
