Two jets (Jet A and Jet B) are training (flying) for a show. The length of both jets are 30 m as measured by the pilots in the jet. Siti is watching the training on a platform of length 50 m. When the two jets wanted to land on the platform, Jet A saw the length of the platform to be 30 m, but Jet B saw the platform to be 20 m i) What is the difference in the speed of the two jets? ii) With respect to Siti, what is the length of Jet A and Jet B?
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.
