A train is traveling south at 58.4 m/s when the brakes are applied. It slows down with constant acceleration to a speed of 6.00 m/s in a time of 9.00 s. How far does the train travel during the 9.00 s? If the displacement is toward north, enter a positive value. If the displacement is toward south, enter a negative value. answer in m
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.
