A vehicle X starts from rest at t=0 travelling on a highway with a constant acceleration of 20m/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 80kph, then maintains this speed. Also, when t=0, a vehicle Y, located 3.5km behind is also travelling towards vehicle X at a constant speed of 110 kph. Determine: 1. Time 2. Distance travelled by vehicle X and vehicle Y from t=0 when they 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.
