PRINTER VERSION 1 BACK NEXT Chapter 02, Problem 043 Go Z Your answer is partially correct. Try again. When a high-speed passenger train traveling at vp = 152 km/h rounds a bend, the engineer is shocked to see that a locomotive has improperly entered onto the track from a siding and is a distance D = 670 m ahead (see the figure). The locomotive is moving at v = 32 km/h. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes. Assume that an x axis extends in the direction of motion. What must be the constant acceleration along that axis if a collision is to be just avoided?

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.
