(A) What is your average speed if you travel 13 m/s for 12 s and then 26 m/s for 12 s. (B) What is your average speed if you travel 13 m/s for 900 m and then 26 m/s for 900 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.
Introduction:
The average speed of the object is equal to the ratio of total distance traveled to total time taken by the object, it is scalar quantity, and the unit of the average speed is m/s.
Part (A):
Given:
The initial speed is 13 m/s for 12 s.
The final speed is 26 m/s for 12 s.
