Review. You are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As soon as the traffic light turns green, your car speeds up from rest to 49.0 mi/h with constant acceleration 8.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with a constant speed of 49.0 mi/h. At the same time, the cyclist speeds up from rest to 23.0 mi/h with constant acceleration 14.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with a constant speed of 23.0 mi/h. (a) For what time interval (in s) after the light turned green is the bicycle ahead of your car? S (b) What is the maximum distance (in ft) by which the bicycle leads your car during this time interval? ft

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.
