A truck travelling has a velocity of 26 m/s. a. Calculate the velocity after accelerating 1 m/s2 for 5 s. b. If the truck then decelerates at 2 m/s2 for 3 s, what is its velocity? c. The truck then takes 8s to change its velocity to 21 m/s. What is its final acceleration?
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.
