A particle moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 2.08 m/s2for 6s, zero acceleration for the next 5s, and a constant decceleration of 1.46 m/s2for 4s. Knowing that the particle starts from the origin and that its velocity is 17.83 m/s during the zero acceleration time interval . Determine the distance travelled (in meters) by the particle after 6 seconds. Round off only on the final answer expressed in three decimal places.
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.
