An airplane has a touchdown velocity of 75.0 knots and comes to rest in 400 ft. What is the airplane's average deceleration? How long does it take the plane to stop? [0.869 knot = 1.47ft/s]
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.
v = d = df – di . a = v = vf – vi .
t t f – t I t t f – ti
vf = vi + a t v = ½ ( vf + vi )
d = ½ ( vf + vi ) t d = vi t + ½ a t2
vf2 = vi2 + 2 a d
