a) Is it possible that the car could have accelerated to 55mph within 268 meters if the car can only accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 15 seconds? b) A car is accelerating at 12 m/s2. Find its acceleration in km/h2. c) A car starts from the rest and accelerates uniformly for t=5 seconds over a distance of 100m. Find the acceleration of the car.
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.
