A motorist is traveling on a curved section of highway of radius 2500 ft at the speed of 60 miles per hour. The motorist suddenly applies the brakes, causing the automobile to slow down at a constant rate. Knowing that after 8 seconds the speed has been reduced to 45 miles per hour, 1. Determine the acceleration of the automobile immediately after the brakes have been applied. VA = 60 mi/h A 2500 ft
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.
