You spot your friend coming down the sidewalk toward you on her skateboard at 4.0m/s. Your friend is 85m away when you start to ride your bicycle toward her with an acceleration of 0.45m/s2. How far do you ride until the two of you pass each other?
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.

The speed of the friend in stake board is vs = 4 m/s.
The initial speed of the person in bicycle is vb = 0 m/s.
The acceleration of the person in bicycle is ab = 0.45 m/s2.
The initial distance between the person and her friend is d = 85 m.
