Two cars are leading toward one another. Car A is moving with an acceleration of aA = 4 m/s2 i. Car B is moving with a constant acceleration ag = -2 m/s² i and initial velocity of VB = -60 m/s i since it started. The cars are initially separated by a distance d = 900 m on the x-axis and car A is initially at rest. At what distance from the initial position of A do car A and car B meet? A. 200 m B. 400 m C. 300 m D. 500 m E. 600 m OA OB O C OD ΟΕ
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.
