A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 38 km/h at the 72-m mark He then maintains this speed for the next 88 meters before uniformly slowing to a final speed of 32 km/h at the finish line. Determine the maximum horizontal acceleration which the sprinter experiences during the run. Where does this maximum acceleration value occur? Part 1 Finish line 39.9m Calculate (a) the magnitude of the tangential acceleration near start of the race and (b) the magnitude of the tangential acceleration near the end of the race Answers: mj²
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.
