A woman , who is in such a hurry to get away from her irrate husband , is speeding down a straight road in her Mercedes . Starting from rest and traveling with a constant acceleration , she passes her mom's house traveling at 90mph . A mile later , her car is going 130mph . What is her acceleration ? How long did it take her to travel from rest to her mom's house ? How long did it take her to go the final mile ?
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.
