A Roller Coaster train and its passengers have a combined mass of 1375 kg. The train comes over the top of the first hill on a roller coaster, 45 m above the ground with a velocity of 10.5 m/s. a) The train goes down the hill on to another hill 18 m above the ground. What is its velocity on top of the second hill. b) What will be its velocity when it reaches the ground level from the top of the second hill.
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.
