There is a 1500 mile race course. The max forward acceleration is 4 m/s2 and the max backward acceleration is 6 m/s2. I start at 600 m and must go to the 800 m mark (I must travel 200 m). What is an equation for the fastest time that I could get to 800 m? What is the position, time, and velocity of my vehicle?
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.
