Mr. M needs to run off of a burning building. He is on the far-left side of the roof of the burning building. He starts from rest, accelerates at a rate of 0.25 m/s^2 across the entire distance of the roof of the burning building 4.88m. His goal is to make it to a safety net that is located on the ground. The height of the building is 4.27m and the net is located 2.45m away from the base of the burning building. Justify whether he will land in the net or not?
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.
