Consider a car that is initially traveling along a straight stretch of highway at 15 m/sm/s. At t=0t=0 the car begins to accelerate at 2.0 m/s2m/s2 in order to pass a truck. The final velocity is vx=25m/svx=25m/s. Calculate how far the car travels during its 5.0 ss of acceleration. If the car maintains its constant acceleration for a total time of 11 ss , what total distance does it travel? Express your answer in meters.
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.
