Concept explainers

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.

Question

A barge is being towed at 16 m/s when the towline breaks. It continues
thereafter in a straight line but slows down at a rate proportional to the square root
of its instantaneous velocity. If two minutes after the tow line breaks, the velocity is 9
m/s, how far does it move before coming to rest?

The brakes are applied to a moving car, causing it to uniformly slow down. While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.00 s to a final velocity of 2.05 m/s, at which point the brakes are released. (a) What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied? i have tried so many ways to solve this and i cant please explain
A typical male sprinter can maintain his maximum accelerationfor 2.0 s, and his maximum speed is 10 m/ s. After he reachesthis maximum speed, his acceleration becomes zero, and then he runs atconstant speed. Assume that his acceleration is constant during the first 2.0 s of the race, that he starts from rest, and that he runs in a straightline. How far has the sprinter run when he reaches his maximum speed?

If it takes the coin 3.0 s after it was released to reach the bottom, howdeep is the well?
A test rocket is fired vertically upward from a well. A catapult gives it an initial speed of 80.0 m/s at ground level. Itsengines then fire and it accelerates upward at 4.00 m/s2until it reaches an altitude of 1 000 m. At that point its engines fail and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of # 9.80 m/s2. (a) How long is the rocket in motionabove the ground? (b) What is its maximum altitude?(c) What is its velocity just before it collides with theEarth? (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating separate from the free-fall motion.)
