A train has a length of 93.8 m and starts from rest with a constant acceleration at time t-Os. At this instant, a car just reaches the end of the train. The car is moving with a constant velocity. At a time t - 16.0s, the car just reaches the front of the train. Ultimately, however, the train pulls ahead of the car, and at time t = 36.0 s, the car is again at the rear of the train.

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 15 of 20
A train has a length of 93.8 m and starts from rest with a constant acceleration at time t = 0 s. At this instant, a car just reaches the end
of the train. The car is moving with a constant velocity. At a time t = 16.0s, the car just reaches the front of the train. Ultimately,
however, the train pulls ahead of the car, and at time t = 36.0 s, the car is again at the rear of the train. Find the magnitudes of (a) the
car's velocity and (b) the train's acceleration.
