A UFO is going 50 m/s South side only experienced the constant acceleration for 72 seconds and was going 598M/S North at the end of said acceleration determine the magnitude of the UFOs acceleration and the magnitude of the UFOs displacement while accelerating
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.
Basically the UFO is experiencing retardation initially which act like Acceleration after some time.
Initially the velocity is along south having magnitude 50m/s and becomes zero due to retardation followed by increase in velocity to 598 m/s along North direction.
The total time covered = 72 seconds. This time include time required yo decrease to velocity from 50m/s to 0m/s and increase in velocity from 0m/s to 598 m/s along south direction. let the time are t1 and T2 respectively.
t1 + t2 = 72.
Let the acceleration have the magnitude of a m/s^2
