Physical data is often used in the court system. In fact, police officers use radar to determine your speed when you are driving and admit that record in court if you are ever given a ticket. In one such instance, the police officer submitted data that goes against the claim of the driver, who is contesting his ticket in court. The police officer (who was stationary when he made the measure) claims that the driver was speeding at 44.7 m/s, but the driver claims he was only going 26.8 m/s (according to his speedometer). The speed limit was 60 mph. The driver argues that the radar gun must have been set incorrectly to record relative velocity. It is possible that they are both telling the truth? In a separate word processing document, prepare two expert witness scripts, one to support the driver and one to support the police officer. Use visual aids (drawings and calculations) to show evidence for both arguments. Once your arguments are complete, turn them in to your teacher.

Concept explainers

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.

Question

Physical data is often used in the court system. In fact, police officers use radar to
determine your speed when you are driving and admit that record in court if you are ever
given a ticket. In one such instance, the police officer submitted data that goes against
the claim of the driver, who is contesting his ticket in court. The police officer (who was
stationary when he made the measure) claims that the driver was speeding at 44.7 m/s,
but the driver claims he was only going 26.8 m/s (according to his speedometer). The
speed limit was 60 mph. The driver argues that the radar gun must have been set
incorrectly to record relative velocity. It is possible that they are both telling the truth?
In a separate word processing document, prepare two expert witness scripts, one to
support the driver and one to support the police officer. Use visual aids (drawings and
calculations) to show evidence for both arguments. Once your arguments are complete,
turn them in to your teacher.

Wyle E. Coyote hears a constant “Beep! Beep!” from around the corner of a cliff. Thinking it might be the Road Runner, he scampers up to speed and runs towards the sound to the East. On coming around the corner, he sees that it is not the Road Runner, but a truck coming towards him towards the West. The speed of the truck is 25 m/s. The speed of the Coyote is 100 m/s.
