Part A You are driving home from school steadily at 94 km/h for 180 km. It then begins to rain and you slow to 65 km/h instantly. You arrive home after driving 4.0 hours. How far is your hometown from school? Express your answer using two significant figures. d = km Submit Request Answer Part B What was your average speed? Express your answer using two significant figures. km/h
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.
