lift rises from rest and reaches a speed of 5ms-1. a) If it rises for 350 metres before reaching this speed find the acceleration of the lift b) If the same lift then slows to a stop after reaching a maximum speed of 5ms-1 with a deceleration of 2ms-? find the total journey time for the lift
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.
A lift rises from rest and reaches a speed of 5ms-1.
a) If it rises for 350 metres before reaching this speed find the acceleration of the lift
b) If the same lift then slows to a stop after reaching a maximum speed of 5ms-1 with a
deceleration of 2ms-? find the total journey time for the lift
