Cars A and B approarched each other on a straight road from points 460m apart. Car A has an initial speed of 70 km/hr and is decelerating at the rate of 0.40 m/s^2. Car b has an initial speed of 20 km/hr and is accelerating at the rate of 0.30 m/s^2. When will the cars meet and how far will each have travelled? Illustrate.
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.
