A Honda Civic Automobile is moving at 6 m/sec and accelerating at 1.50 m/sec2 to overtake a passenger bus which is 115.2 meters ahead. If the passenger bus is moving at 18 m/sec and decelerating at 0.9 m/sec2, a. how soon will the Honda Civic Automobile pass the passenger bus? b. how far will each vehicle have travelled ( Honda & Bus respectively)?
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.
