QUESTION 3 Two cars, initially at rest and 5 km apart at t=0, simultaneously move toward each other. Car A travels at a constant speed of 55 km/hour, while car B travels at a constant speed of 12 km/hour. How far will car A travel before meeting car B in the middle? O 4.1 km O 1.25 km O 0.8 km O 40.8 km
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.
