A jogger accelerates from rest to 3.10 m/s in 3.67 s. A car accelerates from 18.4 to 36.3 m/s also in 3.67 s. (a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the jogger. (b) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the car. (c) How much further does the car travel than the jogger during the 3.67 s? (a) Number i (b) Number (c) Number i Units Units Units ✪ 4 ✪
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.
