The turtle is 1.0 m from the finish line and is approaching it at a constant 1.0 m/s. The turtle is not accelerating. The rabbit is 10. m from the finish line, has a speed of 2.0 m/s and is accelerating. What must the rabbit's acceleration be in order to beat the turtle to the finish? 1.0m/s 2.0m/s 1.0m 10m A. >2.0 m/s² B. >3.0 m/s? C. >8.0 m/s² D. >12 m/s² E. >16 m/s²
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.
