Concept explainers

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.

straight part of the Ehra-Lessien high-speed oval. The Aston Martin is ahead of the
Bugatti and is travelling at a constant speed of 115.2 km/h. The Bugatti is initially
travelling at a speed of 97.2 km/h but begins to accelerate at a constant acceleration of 1
m/s². The distance between the vehicles at the moment the Bugatti begins to accelerate
is 600m.
(i) Calculate the time, in seconds, it takes for the Bugatti to overtake the Aston Martin,
from the moment the Bugatti begins to accelerate.
(ii) Calculate the speed, in km/h, of the Bugatti at the moment it overtakes the Aston
Martin.
(iii) Calculate the distance, in metres, travelled by the Bugatti from the moment it be-
gins to accelerate to the moment it overtakes the Aston Martin.

George, the absent-minded professor, drives his car 5.0 miles due east alonga straight road to the grocery store. Upon arriving there 15 minutes (0.25 h) after he left home, he suddenly realizes he forgot his grocery list. He immediately turns around and heads back towards home. After travelling 6.8 miles due west in 12 minutes (0.20 h), the car runs out of gas. What is his average speed during the not-quite-completed trip?
A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle are both traveling at the same speed of 23.0 m/s , and the distance between them is 52.0 m .

A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 107 m and a takeoff speed 77 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult.
