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.

Question

A red car (on left) and a green car (on right) are spaced 1200 m apart (distance a). They start at the same time and head towards each other. The red car averages a speed of 13.7 m/s. The green car averages a speed of 15.6 m/s. How much time will the two cars have traveled when they are at the same position?

**Diagram Explanation:**
The image features a horizontal track with a red car on the left and a green car on the right, both positioned at opposite ends. The distance between the two cars is labeled "a" and marked as 1200 m. The diagram uses directional arrows to show both cars moving towards each other. The track is depicted as a two-lane road to illustrate their paths.

Your answer is partially correct. In the figure here, a red car and a green car move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x axis. At time t = 0, the red car is at x₁ = 0 and the green car is at x§ = 225 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 26.0 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 44.1 m. On the other hand, if the red car has a constant velocity of 52.0 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.6 m. What are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the (constant) acceleration of the green car? Include the signs. (a) Number (b) Number 61.0 4.14 Red car Unit Unit km/h m/s^2 Green car x
Ahmed and Khalid are having a 100m race from start to finish. Ahmed gives Khalid a 25m head start (he waits until Khalid is 25m away before starting) .Khalid travels at a constant velocity of 5 m/s. Assuming that Ahmed accelerates uniformly from rest at 0.75 m/s2, does he pass Khalid before the finish line? If so, where? If not, how much longer does Khalid take to finish? (explain your reasoning)
Problem 4: A police car traveling at 95 km/h is traveling west, chasing a motorist traveling at 80 km/h (both velocities are with respect to the ground and are constant). Find: 1.

A red car and a green car identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x-axis. At time t=0, the red car is at Xr = 0 and the green car is at Xg =220 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 20km/hr, the cars pass each other at x=44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of 40km/hr, they will pass each other at x =76.6 m. a). Determine the time(s) associated with the motion of the red car. EV b). derive the appropriate equations for the green car. APc). What is i. the initial velocity of the green car? AN ii. The acceleration of the green car? ANd). At what point will they meet if the velocity of the green car is twice that of the red car? CR
A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly, until it has traveled 5.6 km and acquired a velocity of 42 ms. The train then moves at a constant velocity of 42 m/s for 420 s. The train then slows down uniformly at 0.065 m/s2, until it is brought to a halt. The acceleration during the first 5.6 km of travel is closest to: O 0.20 m/s² O 0.14 m/s² O 0.19 m/s² 0.17 m/s² O 0.16 m/s²

You were playing POP POP crackers with your neighbor's kids. To show off your speed, you threw a POP POP cracker at an initial speed of 7.0 m/s downward. The height above ground where you let go of the cracker was about 1.0 m. The cracker popped upon impact with the ground. How long did the kids have between the throw (you let go of the cracker at its initial speed) and the pop (the cracker impacts the ground) to cover their ears and scream? You can assume the final position to be zero. The cracker has negligible amount of air drag. Hint: the cracker has a downward initial velocity. Please include enough significant figures (3 sig. figs.) to ensure your answer is within 5% of the correct answer.
