Two cars A and B have a velocity of 22m/s in the same direction. Car A is 96.05m behind Car B when the breaks are applied to Car B, causing it to decelerate at a constant rate of 3m/s2. a. In what time will A overtake B? b. How far will car B travel? c. What is the relative velocity of car A with respect to car B when A overtakes B? Use 3 decimal places. Input your numerical answer in (a) below and (b) & (c) in the comment.
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.
