A Supercar enters a 25-m intersection traveling with a velocity 5 m/s in the west direction. When it clears the intersection (after it covers the 25-m), it is traveling with a velocity of 10 m/s still in the west direction. What is the acceleration of the car? Assume that east is in the positive x-axis and west is in the negative x-axis.
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.
Stuck need help!
Problem is attached. please view attachment before answering.
Really struggling with this concept.
Please show all work so I can better understand !
Thank you so much.
Given data:
Initial velocity (u) = -5 m/s
Displacement (d) = -25 m
Final velocity (v) = -10 m/s
East in positive x-axis and West is in negative x-axis
Required:
Acceleration (a)
