A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 20.6 mm above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 1.9 mm above the river. The river itself is a raging
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.
3.13 A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 20.6 mm above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 1.9 mm above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 60.0 mm wide.
1.How fast should the car be traveling just as it leaves the cliff in order to just clear the river and land safely on the opposite side?
2.What is the speed of the car just before it lands safely on the other side?
