Maui Dionisia is a Mechatronics Engineering student who lives 2km away from the university. One morning, she rode a jeepney that stopped right in front of their house. The jeepney then speeds up to 40 km/hr with a constant acceleration of 2m/s² and runs at this speed for a time. Maui then shouts "Para po!" causing the vehicle to come at rest with a deceleration of 5 m/s². What is the total travel time of Maui (in minutes)?
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.
