Otto Emissions is traveling at a speed of 12.9 m/s in his automobile. Otto accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s2 for a total of 6 seconds. Otto then maintains a constant velocity for a further 18 seconds after that. Calculate the distance that Otto traveled throughout the course of his entire journey. Your final solution should be rounded to three decimal places.
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.
