(Treat as a kinematics problem) You are on a team that designs driver assist software for next generation cars. Currently, you are working on the following question: if you are driving with speed v, and the traffic light a distance d ahead of you turns yellow, what shall the car do, brake and come to a complete stop right at the intersection, or speed up and make it through the intersection just before the light turns red. The time duration for the yellow light is ty. Cars, intersections are all modeled as being point-like; the moment the light turns yellow is designated as t = 0 s. What is the critical distance where the car needs to take action (breaking or
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.
