Mr. Culbert is driving his car at 38.0 m/s when he passes by a police car travelling at 26.0 m/s. The police car begins accelerating at a rate of 1.82 m/s². Mr. Culbert, being a stable genius, decides to race him and accelerates at 1.20 m/s². Once the officer gets within 5.00 m of his car, Mr. Culbert finally comes to his senses and gives up. How long after passing the police car does it take for Mr. Culbert to give up and how far does this occur from where he initially passed the officer?
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.
