A female motorcycle rider at rest is passed by a friend traveling at a constant rate of 120. Km/hour; the female rider takes off and tries to catch up with the friend. The female rider catches up to her friend in 800. meter, keeping the acceleration constant. A) How long (seconds) did it take the female rider to overtake the friend b) the required female rider’s acceleration (m/s^2) c) the speed of the female rider at the overtaking point (m/s)
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.
