A car is traveling due East at a rate of 32.6 kph and a train is due north at a speed of 74.70 kph and bound to meet an intersection 1 kn for the train and the car. A.)Determine the acceleration of the car, if the car reaches the intersection 10 seconds ahead of the train. B.) Determine the velocity of the car at the intersection
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.
