B) To catch the train, a taxi driver accelerates the taxi from rest at 2.2 m/s2 for 12second along a straight road. Then It has to move at a constant speed for 4 min due to traffic. Then taxi decelerates at a rate of 1.76m/s2 and reaches the station. To catch the train average velocity of taxi should be 23m/s. Show through calculation, will the the taxi driver catches the train?
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.
