A car A and car B are travelling in the same direction at 60 kph on a straight highway, parallel to each other and the car A is ahead of car B by 248.90 kph. At a certain time, car A decelerates uniformly at 2.50 m/s2 , whereas the car B accelerates uniformly at 2.0 m/s2. At what distance measured from the initial position of car B will overtake car A.
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.
