Michael, a Grab driver receives a booking from his mobile phone and goes out of the highway to pick up his customer. He is driving his car at 25.0 m/s. The car accelerates at 2.0 m/s2 for 5 seconds and then maintains a constant velocity for 10.0 more seconds. a. Illustrate the 15 seconds of car's motion by making a velocity-time graph. Use the GRAPH to identify the distance that car traveled during the entire 15 seconds. b. Separate the motion into its two segments and use kinematic EQUATIONS to calculate the total distance traveled during the entire 15 seconds.
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.
