g at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via rad. g at VA = 138 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.3 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the spe that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate until a speed of 164 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s requ overtake car A.
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.
