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.

Question

Current Attempt in Progress
You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 26 m; both your car and the police car are traveling at
120 km/h. Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.0 s (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell," I won't
do that!"). At the beginning of that 2.0 s, the police officer begins braking suddenly at 5.10 m/s². (a) What is the separation between the
two cars when your attention finally returns? Suppose that you take another 0.500 s to realize your danger and begin braking. (b) If you
too brake at 5.10 m/s2, what is your speed when you hit the police car?

You are driving at night on a straight path at 70MPH. Suddenly, a dog appears in your headlights 35 meters away. You immediatley apply the brakes which causes your car to slow down at a constant rate, coming to rest just before making contact with the dog. 1 mile = 1.61 km 1) How long did it take for your car to make a complete stop? 2) If you were initially driving in the 'positive x' direction, then what was your acceleration during the braking maneuver, in vector form and in m/s2?
