Two elevators in adjacent shafts approach each other, one from the top and the other from the bottom. At a certain instant the elevators are 150m apart. The top elevator has a speed of 0.6m/s and accelerating 0.6m/s?, while the lower elevator has a speed of 0.9m/s and accelerating 0.3m/s². Determine: a - The time (seconds) they will meet.0 b- The height (meters) traveled by the upper elevator.0
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.
Use 3 decimal places on the final answer.
